Help me give my students enough tools and paint for our scene shop, so when conditions improve, they can make great theatre happen.

My Students
Our students have achieved greatness in past years, winning dozens of awards in competitive drama events. They excel in innovative learning, and have improved overall achievement in literacy and math by 10% from last year.
Our students show a true enthusiasm for the dramatic arts.
Last year, we successfully presented our first full-scale production (The Miracle Worker) in our new facility. They have drive and zeal, and deserve a fully supplemented theatre department to help them show it.
My Project
Our school was blessed with a $10 million dollar, state-of-the-art performing arts center three years ago with the opening of our new campus.
To fully realize the potential of our theater, we are in dire need of power tools, paint, stage crew accessories and secure equipment in order to help us create scenery worthy of productions using this space.
The educational opportunities we can provide by having the resources we need to create in this space are endless. You will be assisting a Title I school with a very diverse student population.
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
