It is our goal at SCPA to ensure that every student has the supplies and materials that they need to succeed, both artistically and academically. Despite financial contributions by the San Diego Unified School District and the families of each student, the specialized materials required by an art school are expensive and we still need help.
Our "Make a Gift Donation" section allows you to contribute to a specific department that you may feel passionately about. A contribution in any amount is welcome! For a donation in honor of a friend, a loved one, a child, or grandchild, we will send an acknowledgement card.
From all of us at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, thank you for your continued support! |
Art Department Supply Fund |
Help us purchase critical supplies for our aspiring artists - brushes and paint, pastels, pencils and erasers, modeling clay and tools. A year’s worth of drawing supplies costs about $150, painting supplies $200. Modeling clay and tools cost about $100. $600 covers everything for one art student for one year. |
The Scholar Fund |
Our school motto declares that SCPA is the place "where arts and academics meet center stage". To ensure that our students excel in their academic courses and score high on standardized tests, it is imperative that we nurture our academic support and enhancement programs. By providing to the Scholar's Fund you are helping SCPA prepare students for the top colleges and universities in the United States. |
Piano Fund |
In addition to piano classes, the pianos at SCPA are used to accompany all vocal and instrumental students in private lessons, for demonstrations and instructions, and for chorus. With their constant use, the pianos receive a lot of wear and tear and many have to be replaced. A contribution of $100 pays for a piano tuning and $500 would help to toward replacing the older pianos. |
Actor's Fund |
BY contributing $60 you could put a six-months supply of scripts in the hands of an aspiring actor! $120 would buy a year's supply. Help provide new scripts for our young actors and actresses. |
Pointe Shoes |
Our dancers perform in various dance performances at the school throughout the year. Many pairs of pointe shoes will be used, and many new costumes will be designed! $300 puts a dancer in costume and pointe shoes. Pointe shoes alone cost $80 a pair. |
Set Production |
Our set production students build the sets for our productions from scratch. They use drills, saws, staplers and innumerable other tools to do this work. They also learn how to use sophisticated lighting, computer and recording equipment – skills they will take to college and to their careers as they pursue their craft. We must constantly replenish and upgrade our equipment for these students. Costs run the gamut, from $50 for instructional materials to $150 for a power tool or $600 for a digital camcorder. |
21st Century Fund |
To prepare our students for professional careers, we must keep current with rapidly changing technologies and provide state-of-the-art equipment. In our new spaces, we are wired (and wireless) for the 21st century but we don’t have all of the hardware or software we need for our academic and arts computer labs. A contribution to this fund would help us keep our scholar/artists on pace for the 21st century. |
