Because of your support, I was able to keep instruments in good repair, replace reeds and strings, and ensure students always had the essential tools they needed to grow and thrive.\r\n\r\nWhen students understood that the cost of their musical journey was being lifted—shared by a community that believes in them—their focus shifted. Instead of worrying about how they'd get what they needed, they found space to learn, to grow, and to rediscover the joy in making music.\r\n\r\nIt's this circle of support that sustains us. Our students see, through your kindness, that they are valued—and in this moment, that knowledge is transformative.","fullyFundedDate":1723685156026,"projectUrl":"project/little-things-make-great-music-happen/8497829/","projectTitle":"Little Things Make Great Music Happen!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Kreider-Huhges","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1090215_orig.jpg?crop=3098,3098,x0,y330&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721061126518","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1090215"},{"teacherId":1005393,"projectId":8863947,"letterContent":"The Who HQ books are some of the most popular books in our library!

Some of the titles are especially popular: the current athletes and musicians (Lionel Messi, Travis Kelce, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles) and the mysterious phenomena (Nazca Lines, Yeti). \r\n\r\nMany students who are reluctant readers gravitate toward these books for the shorter length and easier reading level.

With these books added to our collective group novel sets, we are able to do novel studies with the entire 8th grade student body in our English, English honors and Multilingual English classes. We have been able to get books in the hands of students that connect to our diverse population, are of high interest to students and increased motivation to read. With the energy of group novel studies across the grade level, the interest and pride in novels they were reading becomes contagious and we catch moments of students discussing books outside of English classes. Even our most reluctant readers were able to get matched with books that engaged them. I had one student say with pride, \"This is the first book I've ever really read all the way to the end.\" \r\nOur group novel studies have been incorporated into our year long 8th grade English curriculum and will have an impact on our students for years to come.

One of my favorite observation so far was a student looking up a quote (you can see in one of the photos I shared) about seeing yourself as a winner.
