Their contributions allowed us to produce a play that blended creativity, literacy, and personal growth in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nBecause of donations, students were able to work with high-quality materials, costumes, and technical equipment that brought the world of Neverland vividly to life. This elevated the production well beyond what a typical school budget could sustain, giving students a truly professional theatre experience.\r\n\r\nStudents gained confidence in public speaking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving while exploring themes of imagination, identity, and growing up—ideas deeply relevant to high-school life. Additionally, the play created new opportunities for students who don't always get a chance to shine: from stage crew and sound design to makeup, costumes, and publicity, many discovered talents and passions they might not have otherwise explored.\r\n\r\nThe production also strengthened the school community. Performances brought families, students, and staff together, creating shared moments of pride and connection. For many students, Peter/Wendy became a highlight of their year—an experience that nurtured artistic expression and emotional resilience.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without donor support. Their generosity turned a simple school play into a memorable, empowering, and enriching learning experience that will stay with students long after the final curtain.","fullyFundedDate":1743108724360,"projectUrl":"project/nhhs-drama-club-presents-our-spring-play/9178546/","projectTitle":"NHHS Drama Club Presents our Spring Play - Peter/Wendy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hibbert","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4927349_orig.jpg?crop=1932,1932,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1711159606066","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4927349"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71009","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":314,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":68,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":21,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.6,"schoolId":71009,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about New Haven High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"New Haven High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/new-haven-community-school-district/new-haven-senior-high-school/71009"}
