Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

"Sometimes you have to be a little naughty"! "Naughty" is one of the title songs in our show. When Matilda sings this, she's not really speaking about ill behavior. What she's truly saying is you should speak up for yourself no matter your size and or the size of the adversities you may face.

This show sends a wonderful message to my students: though they are little; they can work hard to achieve big things and overcome adversities in order to reach their goals.

Help them to see that they can achieve their dreams. Help them understand they have a community of supporters cheering them on. with your donation they will achieve big music, big singing, big theatrics and overall a big performance!

Help us purchase items that will bring a classic and lovely story to life on stage. We are embarking on our schools 8th annual Spring Musical, “Matilda”. You can help to make this year’s show our best by supporting arts learning. Arts learning is often overlooked and underfunded but it is so important! It helps our children discover, and display their talents and abilities, build confidence, create memories that last a lifetime, build experiences for future endeavors and possess great joy! Your support will help us purchase costumes so that they can truly embody the characters that they have worked so hard to learn and portray. Partner with us as we set out to be a little bit naughty (in the best way)!
