The most impactful may be the piece for concert band, \"Our Kingsland Spring\". While the others are valuable instructional resources, as well, this was the piece I put in front of students in the days following the tragic loss of a teacher in our school. The moving, emotional, and generally uplifting nature of this music gave us a way to speak our experience through our instruments in a time when words were difficult to come by.\r\n\r\nThank you for doing this for us. Your investment in our students pays dividends, and will continue to do so.","fullyFundedDate":1728773830709,"projectUrl":"project/small-equipment-big-impact/8873154/","projectTitle":"Small Equipment; Big Impact","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Clark","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9801609_orig.jpg?crop=2388,2388,x201,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1728658686034","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9801609"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21803","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1451,"numTeachers":118,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":68,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.6,"schoolId":21803,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Guilderland High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Guilderland High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/guilderland-central-school-district/guilderland-high-school/21803"}
