These new speakers and headsets have transformed our stage into a place where every student can be heard. From theatre performances to pep rallies, they've given our students the confidence to share their voices proudly with the whole school.\r\n\r\nThe joy on their faces says it all. Students have used the equipment to sing, cheer, give speeches, and even lead class discussions. The moment a headset goes on, their posture straightens, their smiles widen, and their voices carry with strength. For our quieter students, it's been a breakthrough—suddenly, they feel heard and valued.\r\n\r\nOne student, usually shy during class, lit up after hearing her voice through the speakers for the first time. She went on to perform in our school play, delivering her lines with pride. Your gift didn't just bring us technology—it brought moments of confidence, connection, and celebration that we'll carry with us all year long.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for amplifying our students' voices—in every sense of the word.","fullyFundedDate":1741584557395,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-student-voices-through-sound/9138382/","projectTitle":"Empowering Student Voices Through Sound!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. J","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5965633_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539814128658","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-sahirahjohnson"},{"teacherId":9881630,"projectId":9017385,"letterContent":"Thank you again for your support for the students in my classrooms. The Bee-Bots are an absolute hit! My scholars look forward to working with them each week. The Bee-Bots have provided an interactive way to begin their journey in computer programming as well as an engaging way to help them practice their Math and Language Arts skills. My students love competing with each other to see who can program their Bee-Bot to arrive at the correct answer first.\r\n While I initially thought I would use them primarily in my PreK - 2 grade classes, my older students look forward to using them as well. They have helped me design games and practices to implement with the younger students. These seemingly simple robots have extended student learning, imagination and engagement.
