Fund A Need: Create, Perform, Win
At O'Neal, the annual Fund A Need initiatives transform dreams into reality, enabling extraordinary opportunities for our students and staff. Past initiatives have supported professional development, a renovated pool, a greenhouse, playground equipment, research tools, and more. This year, our focus is on empowering creativity, performance, and achievement.

CREATE

Digital Art Offering
Seventh graders will soon explore the exciting world of digital art! With new iPads and graphic design software, students will gain foundational skills in orientation, color theory, design techniques, and professional digital tools. Projects will integrate principles from math, science, language arts, and history, fostering innovation and preparing students for future academic and career opportunities.

Creators’ Laboratory
Middle School students need hands-on learning opportunities! The transformation of Room 13 into a multi-use lab will provide the tools to explore, experiment, and create across subjects, from science and history to theater prop and costume design.

PERFORM

Digital Microphones
Crystal-clear sound for every stage performance and presentation is coming to The Hannah Theater. Wireless digital microphones will amplify voices without wires, ensuring every word is heard.

Storage for Theater Props and Wardrobe
A new storage solution will declutter the backstage and wings of the theater, enhancing safety, compliance, and efficiency. This addition will make space for more creative productions and support future revenue generation from theater rentals.


Musical Equipment
Adding to the Lower School music curriculum, 
 61-key portable arranger keyboards are needed to teach 3rd and 4th grade students the basics of playing the piano. 

An adjustable piano trolley will enable the seamless movement of the Lower School's upright piano, empowering 
our  music department to continue fostering a love of music in young learners.
