Students were already asking what we could fix first and couldn't believe we had replacements ready to go. It's been a huge relief knowing I can keep reeds free for students and replace strings right away instead of waiting weeks or paying out of pocket. Having that support means I can use my own funds for much-needed instrument repairs, which keeps more instruments playable and more students involved.\r\n\r\nSince getting these supplies, I've noticed students taking more pride in their instruments. They're more confident about how they sound and more willing to practice at home, knowing their equipment is in better shape. My woodwinds can focus on tone and phrasing instead of fighting worn reeds, and my strings sound fuller and more balanced now that we can keep their setups in good condition.\r\n\r\nRight now, we're preparing for our winter concert, and every single one of those repaired instruments will be part of it. These resources have truly changed what's possible in my classroom, not just in how we sound, but in how my students feel about making music together. Thank you for helping us keep the music strong and the momentum going.","fullyFundedDate":1760693831526,"projectUrl":"project/reeds-strings-for-band-orchestra/9700398/","projectTitle":"Reeds & Strings for Band & Orchestra","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Thompson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10249705_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757429283484","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10249705"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72993","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":698,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":75.5,"schoolId":72993,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stout Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stout Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/dearborn-public-school-district/stout-middle-school/72993"}
