My Project

This year our class is performing: The Little Mermaid. Our class is dressing up as Sebastian. Please help our students get dressed up in costume by supporting our project : a hat and shirt for the performers to look and feel their best. We will be singing and dancing, working hard to learn the words of the songs, move our bodies to follow the dance steps and stay in our own spaces. Our hard work is paying off. Now it’s time to start dress rehearsals and we would love to have the students not feel burdened by asking them for money to pay for a hat and shirt. Thank you in advance for your support! The kids thank you and will be smiling ear to ear!
