You guys need some community support! Get out there and organize a car wash, speak to your community leaders about your needs (most of these folks probably don't realize how much these things cost), or sell candy, anything. If you can get up SOME money, your director may be able to negotiate a lease agreement to get all of the equipment you need and pay over time. However, if you were my child, and I were paying tuition to send you to a school which would not provide for the programs you are involved in, I would raise mortal hell until it did. Principals respond to parental pressure, especially private schools. As a school employee, your director is not in a position to organize parental protests, but YOU AND YOUR PARENTS ARE!!! When angry parents start calling and showing up to school board meetings, things get done one way or another. Trust me.
