My Project
Our performing arts students dedicate countless hours to rehearsals, performances, and classes, often spending long days at school. Many bring meals and snacks to stay energized, but without a refrigerator, keeping food fresh is a challenge.
A shared refrigerator for our entire Performing Arts Department would benefit all students—dancers, musicians, actors, and tech crew—by providing a place to store healthy meals and drinks.
Proper nutrition is essential for their stamina and focus, and having access to fresh food will help them perform at their best.
With your support, we can create a space where our artists can fuel their passion without worrying about spoiled meals. Thank you for helping us care for the students who bring creativity, energy, and dedication to our school’s performing arts!
