Your contribution has had a tremendous impact on my students and our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen the new materials arrived, the excitement was contagious—students' eyes lit up, and many couldn't wait to try them out. Some even asked if they could stay after class just to get more practice time with the new resources. Moments like these remind me how meaningful your support truly is.\r\n\r\nWe have already put these materials to great use in our daily rehearsals. For example, our new tuners are used in 7 orchestra class periods. Our bass players can now safely carry their instrument and bow with the quivers you donated and we installed on the basses (also adding that this helps prevent damage to our instruments). The rosin you provided is part of our community table allowing students in all 7 class periods to use the rosin for their bow to create majestic sounds as they practice and perform. The violin strings were replaced on 8 of our instruments providing better quality sound to those students. These resources have elevated the quality of our sound and inspired my students to set higher goals for themselves.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are preparing for our upcoming fall concert, where all my students will be performing music that is both musically challenging and emotionally uplifting. Thanks to your generosity, they have the tools they need to succeed—not only for this performance, but for years to come.\r\n\r\nYour donation is more than just equipment; it's an investment in my students' confidence, creativity, and love of music. On behalf of the entire orchestra, thank you for helping us dream bigger and play better.","fullyFundedDate":1752586502291,"projectUrl":"project/orchestrating-success-one-note-at-a-tim/9440656/","projectTitle":"Orchestrating Success, One Note at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Escarciga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10067768_orig.jpg?crop=1470,1470,x1113,y1228&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751463143776","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mary-escarciga"},{"teacherId":9997972,"projectId":9253753,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our campus garden and enrichment center.
