Your gift is exactly what we needed to add a little spice and enthusiasm to the hard work and dedication our students pour into every performance.\r\n\r\nThe excitement among the orchestra members is truly contagious. They are eager to hear how the drum kit will enhance our sound and bring a new level of energy to our music. Even more thrilling is the anticipation of seeing the audience's reaction—not just when they see the drum set proudly displayed on stage, but when they hear the powerful addition of percussion within a string orchestra. It's going to be something special.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' musical journey and helping us continue to grow. Your support will leave a lasting impact—not just on our performances, but on the confidence and creativity of each young musician involved.","fullyFundedDate":1746787128347,"projectUrl":"project/strings-and-drumming-things/9258854/","projectTitle":"Strings and Drumming Things","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Franklin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1605634_orig.jpg?crop=644,644,x275,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744797201958","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/franklinamsorchestra"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_9139","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1896,"numTeachers":121,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":29,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":76.1,"schoolId":9139,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about I.H.
