Theater class is an amazing place to be. Kids get to learn through play.
Students at our schools come from challenging backgrounds.
We have 72% Free and Reduced Lunch and many of our kids struggle with extreme poverty. Our building was built in the early 60s and has not been updated since. The facilities are lacking many basic aspects of a functioning theater. Many theater students specifically come to the performing arts as an outlet, a way of escape. Our program provides opportunities for students to be featured on stage and gives them a new way to confidently approach all of the challenges in their life.
My Project
There is a projector in our classroom now but we project it on to a wall. This makes is hard to see what is being projected and limits the configuration of the chairs in the space. Having a screen will allow me to shift the seating arrangement and still allow all kids to view the screen.
The technology that a student interacts with during their educational career can be the difference between a positive experience and a negative one.
Having something a basic as a screen will remind students that they deserve excellence, and not just a make shift life.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
