This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
As a former Stagecraft student, I can affirm and am proud that they are some of the hardest working students in the school. Besides building sets, hanging lights, running sound, creating costumes, working on run crew, and stage managing every drama department production and event in the auditorium, most are involved in other extracurricular activities and/or employed due to their family's financial situation and still manage to juggle it all pretty successfully.
It is amazing as a Stagecraft teacher to see my students light up when they paint or use power tools for the first time, and then see their mind finally open up to the possibilities of what they didn't feel they were capable of.
Many of my students sign up for Stagecraft because of the need for a project but a non-performance-based course that they can excel in. Luckily for many of them, Stagecraft can be a class where they discover hidden skills and talents, most of which they can continue to use in their lives after they graduate.
My Project
As we enter into another year of pandemic teaching, but solely face-to-face instruction, I want to be able to give my students a chance to do more hands-on projects this year while still keeping them safe.
Seating and safety needs will be crucial to the success of this and future school years.
Social distancing and keeping our areas clean will be greatly helped by receiving the items listed. Stools help spacing during classwork, more tools create less opportunity for spreading germs, and more PPE like safety glasses helps keep the students safe.
More than half of students from low‑income households
