Your support has meant the world to our school, especially after the devastating fire that left us with nothing for our music program.\r\nAlthough we faced a few unexpected bumps along the way—some items were out of stock (twice!), and we had to revise our list—it all worked out better than we could have imagined. The instruments and materials we received ended up being perfect for our music class. It's as if it was meant to be.\r\nFor the past two years, our students have had to go without instruments. Seeing their eyes light up when I bring out a new instrument is something I'll never forget. Their minds are absolutely blown each time—we're not just making music; we're making memories, rebuilding our program, and rediscovering the joy of music.\r\nPlease know that your gift has made a lasting impact on these students' lives. You've brought music back into our school, and with it, hope and inspiration.\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1752586601426,"projectUrl":"project/a-few-drumsxylophones-for-a-school-with/9315376/","projectTitle":"A Few Drums/Xylophones for a School With NO Instruments!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6479320"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10924","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":298,"numTeachers":13,"percentFrplEligible":50,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"22.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":79.5,"schoolId":10924,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Trenton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Trenton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/trenton-independent-school-district/trenton-elementary-school/10924"}
