The items you provided have been essential in restocking and refreshing my classroom. I received such essential items as pencils, erasers, white boards and markers, and band aids. These are items I use daily, and they are not provided by my school. Your support is crucial.\r\n\r\nAdditionally I received some items I have been needing that are above and beyond the basics. I received test taking privacy boards and headphones. Headphones are used daily, and lots of students don't have them. Our digital platform has sound, and you can imagine how distracting it is if no child has headphones. This addition to my classroom will make a big difference in the focus level of students. The privacy boards are also important to help students focus, particularly during testing. Our rooms are not big, and students are in close proximity to each other. The privacy boards help students to stay focused on their own work.\r\n\r\nI have explained to students that many of the special items in our classroom were given by donors who want them to have a quality learning experience. They are truly appreciative and understand that use of these supplies is a privilege. We are enjoying having the supplies we need to enhance learning.

The kids are also playing with better technique, and while most of them will not play mallets professionally, playing with improved technique allows them to keep away from injuries and physically feel better while they are playing music. This is an amazing gift we have been given, and I know we will not take it for granted. \r\n\r\nSince your amazing donation, I can confidently say that over 80% of our entire school population (every grade level except for kindergarten) has made use of these instruments stands.
