Second Grade Costumes

Help me give my students explorer hats and vests and vinyl to make t-shirts for our second-grade music program!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Payton's classroom raised $157

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our second graders are a month away from their music program. The students are so excited to perform on stage and sing and dance on the stage.

This project is for explorer hats and vests for my class to wear on the stage.

My students are so excited to perform and these explorer hats and vests will make a huge difference in their performance. My students will be so excited to have fun costumes to add extra excitement to their performance. This project also includes vinyl to make the students dinosaur shirts so that they can shine on stage.
