Help me give my students skirts for several performances during the school year, which will be used as costumes for both in and out-of-school performances not just for this year, but for upcoming years as well.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. de la Garza's classroom raised $274
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
During a school year at FAS in Newark, students within the dance program will perform in an average of 5 in-school and out-of-school performances. Each of these performances is unique and for each of these performances, students need costumes. In our school, we pride ourselves in not giving any added financial burden to the families we service. Part of this then means that we must provide our students with several elements to make their studies and performances the best they can be.
This project will ensure that students in our program, not only currently but in the future as well, have a larger variety of costumes to choose from when performing.
I highly appreciate any help you can provide us with to achieve this goal.
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
