Microphones for Our School Play! Help Our Students Be Heard!

Help me give my students microphones for our school plays. I'm a drama teacher and our stage has no sound system and the acoustics are awful. Please donate so my students can be heard by their parents!

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

Hello, I'm the drama teacher on the south side of Chicago. Our drama program is only two years old and we're still lacking many materials. The thing we're most desperate for is microphones.

Our students are lovely and eager to perform as part of our school's new drama program, but we don't really have a sound system and the acoustics for our stage are awful.

These lavalier microphones will help us with our spring performance and many performances after that.

Please help our students to be heard!

Mr. Lalonde
Grades 6-8
