The Lion King: Remember Who You Are

Help me give my students Lion King costumes, stage makeup, and supplies for our spring musical.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patton's classroom raised $288

My Project

In this project, I am requesting the costumes and stage makeup our students need for their spring musical production.

Our 3rd-5th grade cast of The Lion King Kids are excited to take the show to the stage, but we need help to make the dream a reality.

These lion manes, blue t-shirt and bird wings will be used for Simba, Nala, Scar and Zazu. The big lion suit will be used for Mufasa. The stage makeup in basic colors and makeup brushes will help bring Rafiki to life, as well as whiskers on the animal characters. A few middle school girls are excited to be our stage makeup artists for this production, however we need makeup, brushes and sponges. Our school population has been historically underresourced, and we are putting this show on with a $0 budget. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your help with this special production of The Lion King, which will touch the lives of many families.
