The Drums Alive kits you helped provide have already made a meaningful difference for my students with varying cognitive and physical needs.\r\n\r\nThese drums are more than instruments—they are tools for connection, expression, and growth. Students who struggle with communication are finding new ways to express themselves through rhythm. Those working on motor skills are building strength, coordination, and confidence with every beat. Most importantly, every student is able to participate at their own level and experience success.\r\n\r\nYour support has created opportunities for inclusion, engagement, and happiness that extend far beyond the classroom. You've helped foster a space where students feel capable, motivated, and proud of what they can do.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for making this experience possible. Your kindness is truly making an impact every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1770518802169,"projectUrl":"project/rhythms-for-growth-empowering-learners/10072146/","projectTitle":"Rhythms for Growth: Empowering Learners Through Music and Motion","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Standley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8028014_orig.jpg?crop=716,716,x0,y226&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1630203361903","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8028014"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31097","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":669,"numTeachers":49,"percentFrplEligible":13,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":15,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.7,"schoolId":31097,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hickory Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hickory Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/st-johns-county-school-district/hickory-creek-elementary-school/31097"}
