My Project

We have needed some materials to assist with our yearly production. We receive a budget from the school, but it is insufficient to cover the tools we need to build sets, create costumes, and put on makeup professionally. Our goal is to put on an excellent show and learn about the production aspects of putting on a great show. This includes building with drills, hot glue guns, and using makeup.

The SMS drama students work so hard to put on an excellent show.

They do so much with so little. I would like to give them the necessary tools to complete the task of building and designing sets. This will make it more of a learning opportunity. Also, we often depend on families to lend us the tools to complete these tasks. This is not practical because we are always at risk of breaking them. This makes it challenging to use them. With our tools we can work with confidence.
