This project will use the Catchbox Plus system to help students all be heard. We know that students have a great deal to share, but the combination of background noises, fear, and anxiety are some of the reasons children won't speak up or speak loudly. With this device, the children's voices will be amplified and the cube can be passed around from student to student in a way that is engaging and fun.

This project is a language acquisition and vocabulary building initiative through the vehicle of dramatic play. It will allow students to immerse themselves in real life scenarios and engage in interactive language experiences. This is uniquely designed for language learners through the use of monthly thematic play centers and themes.

This project is designed to put a system in place that protects and organizes all of the costumes and accessories for our theater department in an effort to protect the fabric and investment.
