Description: Our junior high theatre program provides students with authentic, hands-on learning experiences that blend creativity, technical skill, and collaboration. Students are deeply involved in every stage of theatre production-from designing and building sets to constructing props and managing stage elements. This grant for the RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless 8-Tool Combo Kit will enhance these experiences by equipping students with reliable, high-quality tools that support efficient, safe, and skill-based learning.

With access to a full range of cordless tools, students can engage directly in real-world applications of construction, design, and problem-solving. The versatility and portability of the RYOBI system allow students to learn professional tool-handling techniques while collaborating in teams to bring creative concepts to life. These authentic experiences teach responsibility, craftsmanship, and perseverance while building confidence and pride in their work.

By providing consistent access to functional, up-to-date tools, this grant ensures that students can fully participate in hands-on, project-based learning without interruption. The result is a dynamic, engaging environment where every student has the opportunity to learn by doing-turning creative ideas into tangible outcomes that strengthen both technical and creative growth.
