Make It / Take It Shirts for Music Students!

Help me give my students the opportunity to have matching choir, band and orchestra shirts for years to come with this Cricut machine and accessories.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Richards's classroom raised $750

This project is fully funded

My Students

My 4th and 5th grade choir has approximately 40 students who participate in our weekly rehearsals throughout the year. We present 2 concerts a year and several more off-campus and we would love to have choir t-shirts for everyone to wear for our performances!

This school is a 100% poverty school where children struggle to have school supplies and properly fitting clothes for school every day.

This project will enable my students to look like choirs from other schools when we go out for off-campus performances and give the students a sense of belonging and professionalism that they wouldn’t otherwise have. .

My Project

My students love singing in the choir and playing in the band and orchestra at our school but would feel more connected if they all had matching shirts that could be designed and printed using this Cricut machine and accessories. They would look like a professional group if they could all wear matching shirts!

Because my students attend a Title I school (100% poverty level), it is a financial challenge for our families to purchase special clothing for our 2-3 performances every year at school and in the community.

This project would allow families to not have to worry about how they would afford special clothing, as I would be making the shirts for the students.
