We are so excited to share how your donations helped bring our school musical play to life. \r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students were able to create many of the props, set design, and costume pieces used in our performance. The hats became fun costume elements that helped students transform into their characters. With the cardboard cutters and paint, students worked together to design and create colorful props and scenery for the stage such as a volcano, sharks, and sea turtles. The colorful streamers helped create fun jellyfish.\r\n\r\nThis project gave our students a chance to collaborate, problem-solve and express their creativity. They took great pride in their work. Thank you for believing in our studens and supporting their creativity. Your generosity helped make our school musical play a memorable experience that our students will always remember.","fullyFundedDate":1768933094466,"projectUrl":"project/curtain-up-helping-students-shine-on-st/9988945/","projectTitle":"Curtain Up!
