The materials will be shared between all 3 music teachers who use our classroom and will be accessible to every student in the building.

It has been a wonderful addition to be able to play and stream music loud enough for my whole band to hear clearly. In addition, it is portable enough that we will be able to use it for concerts in other venues such as our cafeteria or the firehall for the tree-lighting ceremony. It is great to be able to control what is being played from a mobile device and not have my computer tethered to a speaker. But the general music teacher prefers to plug-in, so having both options is very beneficial for our classroom. Thanks again for helping bring more music to our music classroom!!!","fullyFundedDate":1786541624964,"projectUrl":"project/hear-ye-hear-ye/10276223/","projectTitle":"Hear Ye, Hear Ye!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McKelvey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1113956_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y417&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1672885065679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1113956"},{"teacherId":10422593,"projectId":10070853,"letterContent":"I am writing to share my deepest gratitude for your support of our project, \"A Safe, Warm Start for Hungry Little Learners.\" Because of your generosity, my students have been able to feel cozy and focused during morning meeting.\r\nBefore these resources arrived, many of my students arrived hungry, making it difficult for them to concentrate during our first lessons. Now, thanks to you, I have seen a wonderful shift in the classroom. It is heartening to see their faces light up when they have a healthy snack, and their engagement in our reading block has noticeably improved because they are nourished and ready to learn.\r\nSeeing my students feel supported and cared for by people they have never even met is a powerful lesson in community for them. Your gift didn't just provide supplies; it provided a sense of security and warmth that helps them thrive every single day.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for helping us create the best possible environment for their growth.
