My Project

Our Oompa Loompa costumes will be used in our spring musical production! Sixth grade students will be performing Willy Wonka, JR. This specific project is for the costumes for our Oompa Loompas. While the script only calls for 5 Oompa Loompas, it is difficult to turn away any students who wish to participate. Since we don't turn anyone away, we have 23 Oompa Loompas to purchase costumes for! Our self-funded Drama Club doesn't have enough money for costumes for this many students, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your donation!
