My Project
Numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between drama involvement and academic achievement. In addition to having higher standardized test scores than their peers who do not experience the arts, students who participate in drama often experience improved reading comprehension, maintain better attendance records, and stay generally more engaged in school. Now merge this thinking with the idea that helping others makes students feel good, and they can feel it both physically and mentally. People reported feeling more energetic, less depressed, and more self-worthy.
My project not only will help my students but will help the elderly in our area.
We want to put on the play, sell tickets to it, and raise money for a local nursing home. We are in need of costumes desperately.
Please help. The more time young and old people spend together, the more both parties benefit. Children have a warm and infectious energy, which can help to bring so much joy to the elderly. In fact, research shows that connecting youths with seniors can help to boost confidence, increase communication, and improve memory.
More than half 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
