My Project

Experiencing kindness impacts how we feel and how we treat others. It makes one want to do more for others. My students hope to put on a play for the entire student body and members of the community. They want to spread kindness and bring joy through their entertainment.

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

My students want to spread kindness with the play AND use all the proceeds to benefit the entire student body by helping to make an annual carnival happen. This is such a wonderful way not only to perform but to show kindness to others. We plan to donate everything to the annual carnival. This act will benefit the entire student body of my school.

Without these supplies,including costumes and ribbons, and the generous help of DonorChoose and their donors, our play would not be able to happen.
