Help me give my students a chance to succeed in a drama environment with items such as crayola crayons for imagining new worlds, large sticky notes for collaborative idea making, and cardstock paper to bring drama to life.

My Project
A lot comes with being a first year teacher, including supplying and funding a classroom. Being a drama teacher means needing even more tools and supplies to help to students flourish in a creative learning environment. These items are all items needed to get started and to give students every opportunity to be themselves and find new worlds.
I am beginning my career as a drama teacher at an underprivileged school with a large minority population, most of whom speak English as a second language or are learning English.
Roughly 60% percent of the students at this school qualify for free or reduced lunch. These students come from diverse, and sometimes difficult backgrounds, making an arts education imperative to their growth and learning as people and as students. Being able to have a fully stocked classroom for these students to learn in would make a difference for them and the communities around them.
My goals for this project are to provide my students with the best drama education possible with the tools listed in this project. It is my goal to make sure that every student, no matter their background, or learning abilities, has the art education that they deserve. Every child deserves to experience drama and the arts and every child deserves to dream.
More than half of students from low‑income households
