Play to fund a field trip to the USA

<p>My name is Marine and I teach English in a French high school in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in Alsace.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This year, I&#39;ve decided to take my 13 European section students to the USA: Selma, Tom, Enzo, Tobias, Matt&eacute;o, Lucie, Sol&egrave;ne, Julie, Hira, Alban, Lucien, Iannis and C&eacute;lia. They are hardworking and motivated students who really deserve this chance. I can&#39;t put a picture of them here because of privacy issues but trust me, THEY ARE THE CUTEST BUNCH OF STUDENTS!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We&#39;ve raised funds through Christmas caroling so far and we&#39;ve been working on a performance of Oscar Wilde&#39;s play The Importance of Being Earnest. The money made through ticket sales will also help us fund our travel.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is the trailer of the 2002 movie version of the play! Enjoy!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fa6au_dDoHBY%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Da6au_dDoHBY&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fa6au_dDoHBY%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=8b7d8dd6504d41af9a77662672aabc2a&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="500" height="281" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The problem is: it is really difficult to find costumes for free and our school has absolutely no budget to buy any.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have high hopes for this project because I truly believe that traveling to a foreign country is the best way to get to know its true culture. I was lucky enough to have this kind of experience when I was their age (I lived in the USA for 6 years)&nbsp;and I just really want them to experience it as well.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It won&#39;t be like a normal vacation in America but a true immersion into the lives of their American penpals with whom they&#39;ve been exchanging letters and videos for the past 5 months.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The plan is to go there next school year, between October and January. The play will be performed on Friday, April 20th in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in Alsace, France.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
