My Project

The holidays are fast approaching.

Santa hats would bring holiday joy and excitement to our hardworking students.

These hats will be worn by our students while they put on a play on stage for their families. Our students are excited to perform on stage for their classmates and families. My students haven't had many opportunities to perform. This holiday performance will be the first time many of the families will come to the school to hear their child sing and play an instruments! Our kids are singing beautifully: these hats will bring our performance to life. We are a historically-underfunded school in the heart of Paterson. This assembly will be very special. Thanks for your support.
