Your Theatre Education Contribution is essential for the 2024 -2025 school year and is requested by October 31st. Theatre Education Contributions are collected annually from each student in EVERY ARTS AREA at LaVilla. The funds contributed to the Boosters supplement the needs of their own Arts Department not covered by public school dollars. These essential contributions cover needs within the department and benefit ALL STUDENTS. The funding is used to cover specialized classroom materials/supplies, equipment, master classes, workshops, paint, tools that facilitate daily operation, as well as subsidize ticket prices for our events and competition so prices are not out of reach and everyone can participate and attend. Did you know that public school dollars ONLY pay teacher salaries and nothing else? If not for the necessary contributions of parents to Theatre Boosters per student, there would be no scripts... not sets... no costumes... no workshops... no Thespians... and no shows! Your financial support is imperative for the students to have an amazing year! For contributions made before September 7th, your child will be entered into a drawing for LaVilla merch AND you will receive the discounted rate of $175. Contributions made after September 7th are $200. Contributions can be made at the link below or by check payable to LaVilla Theatre Boosters and given to one of the Theatre teachers. If you are in the position to offer an additional contribution, it will make a world of difference to our department! See the link below to pay your contribution today.
