My Project

We need basic school supplies to start the new school year. Items such as paper, pens, hair ties, tape, safety pins, scissors will all help create an easy transition back to school for my students. These items will be used to provide an equitable space for students to learn in. When I am able to provide items such as hair ties and KT tape for my students, items that they may not have at home, I am creating a safe space for them to prepare for taking a dance class without having to spend money on supplies to get started.

Your generous donations are greatly appreciated and valued in our dance program.

My students deeply appreciate the supplies and the support that the feel from the community lifting them up so that they can focus on learning in the dance classroom. Thank you for your consideration and support of performing arts in public schools.
