The new mallets for our Orff instruments have already become an essential part of our daily music-making.

Students crowded around the boxes, guessing what might be inside. As soon as they saw the colorful mallets, several gasped, and one student exclaimed, \"These are for us?!\" They couldn't wait to test them out, and within minutes, the room was filled with joyful experimentation.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these mallets will continue to support our current unit on creating original class compositions. Your contribution is helping them not only play music, but understand it, create it, and feel proud of their work.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools to explore, discover, and shine. Your generosity is making a lasting impact on their musical journey.","fullyFundedDate":1757445161496,"projectUrl":"project/stretch-move-and-make-music/9602889/","projectTitle":"Stretch, Move, and Make Music!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Miller","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9682514"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_86525","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":448,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":25,"percentIndigenous":7,"percentLatinx":54,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"2 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"16.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":69.0,"schoolId":86525,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Southwest Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Southwest Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/clinton-public-schools/southwest-elementary-school/86525"}
