Make Way, Make Way for Moana Musical

Help me give my students the props, materials, and set designs they need to put on an amazing musical!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Porter's classroom raised $1,142

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school has a long tradition of pride and hard work. Established in 1922, our school is a cornerstone of the community and strives to build character and strength in all of our athletes.

My middle school is a Title I school that mainly serves minority students.

We have a wide range of individuals from all over the county and have created a family of young players within these teams.

My Project

We are putting on an amazing musical this year. Moana will be brought to the stage with your help. This project will purchase props, set designs, needed materials, and costumes for our musical. It will be performed for students, staff, and parents to showcase the amazing talents of our students.

Help us bring this musical production to life!

Help build the confidence of our performers, the school spirit of students, and the engagement of our community. Help continue our legacy of amazing performances, and help Swann put on a production that will always be remembered.

These items will be used in a variety of amazing ways. The costumes will bring Moana and Maui to life. Some of the objects will create the land of monsters. And the paints and crafting materials will be used to make props such as coconuts, necklaces, and wings.
