Help Our School Play

Help me give my students the appropriate supplies to put together costumes for a school play.

My Project

Numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between drama involvement and academic achievement. In addition to having higher standardized test scores than their peers who do not experience the arts, students who participate in drama often experience improved reading comprehension, maintain better attendance records, and generally stay more engaged in school.

Please help me make putting on a school play a reality by supplying the costumes necessary for this to happen.

Without supplies like the necklace, garlands, leis, and the generous help of DonorChoose and their donors, our play would not be able to happen.
