Mean Girls Need Carbs to Be Nice!

Help me give my students snacks during rehearsals. They are always hungry after school, and acting and building take a lot of energy.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our Spring Musical is Mean Girls, and my actors and techs can't survive on plastic! These kids put in a lot of hours after school and often don't have any food. These snacks will help energize them during long rehearsals and builds.

With your help, my students will be able to have some nourishment to keep them focused and ready to tackle acting, singing, dancing, and building!

Producing a musical take a lot of hard work and dedication. My students love performing and doing tech work. It's an incredible hands-on learning experience that ends up being enjoyed by not only them, but also the audience. Thank you for any help you may give!
