My Project

Dear Donors,

Our school is excited to announce our upcoming production of "Shrek the Musical Jr."!

This beloved story of friendship, acceptance, and adventure is sure to inspire and entertain our students and community. However, as an underfunded school, we face significant challenges in bringing this magical tale to the stage.

We are seeking your generous support to help us purchase the necessary costumes and props to make our production truly spectacular. Your donation will directly impact our students by providing them with the resources they need to fully immerse themselves in their roles and bring the characters of Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and all the fairy tale creatures to life.

Why Your Support Matters:

Enhancing Creativity: Quality costumes and props will allow our students to express their creativity and bring their characters to life with authenticity.

Building Confidence: Participating in a well-supported production helps students build confidence and teamwork skills.

Community Engagement: A successful production will foster a sense of community and pride among students, parents, and staff.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Together, we can create a memorable experience for our students and audience. Thank you for considering our request and for your support in making "Shrek the Musical Jr." a reality at our school.

Warm regards,

Peta-Gaye McLean
