The students loved all of the items and now they have motivation to keep up with their goal so they can choose again! Donors like you have helped encourage our students to set a goal and reach for it!

I can't thank you enough for your donations. I never dreamed this would be funded and delivered in time for our summer drama program to use them, but it happened! We were able to put on three separate productions this week for our showcase and never had to change microphones in between scenes even once! It was amazing and made show running so much smoother. It used to be such a struggle to keep everyone mic'd up and not have kids taking off and putting on mic packs and headsets while the mics were still on--the noise was deafening! Additionally, this made it possible for us to have more than eight actors on stage at once, which used to be physically impossible. The kids were SO excited to have this expanded capability and immediately began thinking of creative ways to use it. \r\n\r\nYou are AMAZING and my kids and I appreciate you so much. You were a blessing to us.
