The equipment you helped provide have brought so much excitement and energy to our classes. Before, students often had to share limited equipment, which made it difficult for everyone to stay engaged and active. Now, with enough quality equipment to go around, students are participating more fully, building confidence in their skills, and showing an appreciation for physical activity.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only improved the quality of our lessons and classroom culture, but has also inspired teamwork, sportsmanship, and healthy competition among our students. We see students who once hesitated to join games now actively encouraging their peers and celebrating their progress. We are grateful for your kindness in making this impact possible.","fullyFundedDate":1752627881802,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-fitness-help-us-gear-up-for-pe/9208359/","projectTitle":"Fueling Fitness: Help Us Gear Up for Pe Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bibat","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8612823_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y211&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1682988696277","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msbibat"},{"teacherId":9741733,"projectId":8759771,"letterContent":"I sincerely thank you all for your contributions to my band program. Your donations have allowed me to unleash my students' full potential and greatly increase their performance ability. I am so thankful that my students have quality clarinet mouthpieces and good drumsticks to play on. \r\nIt was like Christmas Morning to them whenever the packages first came in. My students recognized how nice their new equipment was, leading to further conversations about responsibility and taking care of their instruments. Right away, I noticed a difference in their playing ability. My clarinet section started projecting much more than before and my percussion section started blending into the ensemble sound like professionals. Leading up to the winter concert, the students felt more confident in themselves and were ready to give a superior performance to the community. Their performance was wonderful and exciting. Several parents and administrators congratulate me and the kids on an excellent concert. When I asked the students how they felt about the concert, they all expressed joy that they performed so well!\r\nI thank you all for helping make this possible. The positive mental health impact the band provides is immeasurable. Because my students had quality equipment to play on, they were able to reach their full potential.
