With generous donations from Ms. Elsa, Mr. Jeff, and Sparkhound Foundation, "Our School's Got Talent" was funded for Christmas. I cannot wait to return in January to tell the kids that we will be making movies with the new film equipment purchased through Donor's Choose vendors because of each of you. In August of 2016, about half of the children who attend our school lost everything in the historic floods that took Baton Rouge, LA by surprise. It is my intention to use this film equipment with the children as a means of creative, visual, self expression to tell the world their stories. Thanks to each of you for your "Big Hearts!" Can't wait to share our pics with you real soon.
