Ms. O'Connor from Lugoff SC is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Let Them Be Heard!

My students need wireless microphones in order to perform in the auditorium. They cannot have a successful performance without being heard and there are currently no microphones available in our auditorium.

My Students

"Can I bring my mom in, to show her my lighting project?" This question was the first of many "teaching moments" that solidified why I am happy to be educating South Carolina high school students in theater. In my district, my class is the first opportunity these students have to experience theater academically, and a lot of times recreationally.

Performance arts are invaluable disciplines that positively affect SAT scores, student self-esteem, and create real-world ready students.

My students are thirsty for theatrical experiences and opportunities to be on stage! They soak up every opportunity to learn and perform and I am so glad to be able to help them succeed!

My Project

Theater is a PERFORMING ART! I try to focus on that in my classroom. I give the students as many opportunities as I can to get them in front of a live audience. However, if we have to rent microphones every time we perform, I am not able to schedule as many opportunities as I would like!

Having our very own wireless microphones would allow them to perform more often and give me the opportunity to teach my sound unit with more hands-on activities.

My students in theater would love to be able to perform more often with the help of these microphones!
