CARES Outfits Monkeys in D98



CARES asked and our members responded when they heard about Ms. Tiess at Lincoln Middle School!  Mrs. Tiess is working hard with students to put on a production of Wizard of Oz.  What a wonderful experience for those students!  CARES knows that the arts and theater often take a backseat to reading and math when it comes to funding, especially in the high-stakes testing environment in our country.  Those subjects that are not tested are often not prioritized even though we KNOW that the arts is often what inspires kids the most!  From Mrs. T:


"Thank you so much for your donation! We have had so many kids audition and our cast is going to be huge! I am so grateful to have the fabric to make all of the Winkie and monkey costumes. I am sure that the witch will look amazing in her costume as well!
We started out with a bare stage without any tools to help show these kids what a life changing experience the performing arts can be. You and DonorsChoose have paved a road for quality performing arts experiences for years to come!
Thank you once again for your generous gift to us.

With gratitude,
Ms. T"

So, we've got the costumes for the witch and the monkeys!  How about Dorothy?  How about lights? How about special effects?  YOU can make a difference for so many kids.  Click here to make a donation, however small or large, TODAY!!
