Applause also helped provide materials and supplies for art classrooms, including a new kiln, wheels and color printers.

And for performing arts, Applause helped purchase an integral synthesizer, lighting accessories and gobo’s, software for lighting controls, sub woofers, and cubbies for junior high showchoirs.
