We are excited to begin visiting classrooms and making them feel more welcoming by adding real plants that students will help care for. Students get to have moments of self care by being grounded via working with plants while also helping our classroom feel and be beautiful. \r\n\r\nThe impact of your donation goes far beyond financial support—you are true partners in cultivating a team of peer mentors who will help younger students feel a stronger sense of belonging, community, and care.\r\n\r\n\"Thank you\" doesn't feel like enough, but from myself and all of our mentors: THANK YOU for believing in this work and helping it grow.","fullyFundedDate":1758410939147,"projectUrl":"project/rooted-club/9408950/","projectTitle":"Rooted Club","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Blanca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9201380_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y423&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1748551972192","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9201380"},{"teacherId":8779100,"projectId":9273076,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the ability to give our students the tools they need to continue learning music and to continue performing. The reeds have been such a huge help to our students. They are an important piece to be able to produce a sound in our woodwind instruments like the saxophones and the clarinets. Having brand new mouthpieces have also helped us in being able to play our instruments. Every student that received a new one has been so excited and take care of them as if it was their own.\r\n\r\nThe brand new saxophone straps have made it a better experience for our students since they have brand new padding. Instead of playing with old worn down straps, the students can be comfortable with their instrument and can focus on improving their tone on their instrument.

They are helping improve students on their sight reading even if they are not a drummer.\r\n\r\nFor the gel pads, they have helped control the ringing in our snare drums to provide a pleasant sound. With all of our snares having them, it gives us a nice attack with less resonance. When we use them live, our sound is more balanced and professional.
