Already, in the very short amount of time since we've received the materials, we have been able to record our students performances and share them with the students and their families. The immediate outpouring of thanks and excitement have been heartwarming. These are not only things for them to enjoy and celebrate now, but will be a lasting memory they can look back on through the rest of their lives.\r\n\r\nIn addition, we have already started coming up with other ways to use the materials in class. We have been filming and recording in rehearsals. Students can now hear themselves played back immediately and get an understanding of what the ensemble sounds like from the outside, make assessments, adjust, and improve not only their sound in the next take, but their ability to understand their position within the ensemble.","fullyFundedDate":1764687679879,"projectUrl":"project/preserving-our-artistic-endeavors/9927569/","projectTitle":"Preserving Our Artistic Endeavors","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Breadon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8364062"},{"teacherId":8398460,"projectId":8819867,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our robotics program. Your support—especially the 3D printer—has genuinely transformed what our students are capable of this season.\r\n\r\nBecause of your contribution, my team has been able to design and manufacture custom components that directly improved our robot's performance. The students didn't just use new tools—they mastered them. They've taken on advanced CAD work, learned the full 3D-printing workflow, and built skills that will stay with them far beyond this year's competition.\r\n\r\nThe enthusiasm in our lab has been unmatched. Your investment didn't just provide equipment; it expanded what my students believe they can achieve.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our program and in the potential of these young engineers.

Because of your gift, we were able to purchase brand-new headphones for our piano lab — and they are already making a huge difference for my students.\r\n\r\nHaving high-quality headphones means every student can focus on their own music without distraction. In the past, it was challenging for students to hear themselves clearly when many pianos were playing at once. Now, they can practice with confidence, listen closely to their sound, and make immediate corrections. This kind of focused, independent practice is helping them learn faster and with better accuracy.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students the most is how \"professional\" they feel with the new headphones. They love being able to work at their own pace and experiment with new pieces privately before sharing them with the class. It has also encouraged more peer-to-peer collaboration — students will take off their headphones to show each other something cool they discovered, which sparks great conversations about music.","fullyFundedDate":1743712904134,"projectUrl":"project/replacing-our-old-headphones-in-piano-la/9173638/","projectTitle":"Replacing Our Old Headphones in Piano Lab","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9904291"},{"teacherId":9904291,"projectId":9138201,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generous support in helping us add recital benches and fun LED lights to our class piano room. These additions have completely transformed our learning space and the way my students experience music.\r\n\r\nThe new recital benches have made a big difference in students' posture and playing technique. Having the proper seating helps them sit at the correct height, which makes it easier to keep their wrists relaxed and develop good hand position — skills that are essential for healthy, long-term piano playing. The hydraulic system allows the adjustments to happen quickly which is especially helpful for duets. \r\n\r\nThe LED lights have been the biggest source of excitement! Students love walking into a room that feels bright, colorful, and inviting. We often change the light colors to match the mood of the music we're learning — for example, cool blue lights for a calm piece or vibrant rainbow lights for upbeat practice sessions. This has made class more interactive and fun, and it really keeps students engaged.","fullyFundedDate":1743021750353,"projectUrl":"project/recital-piano-benches-and-lights/9138201/","projectTitle":"Recital Piano Benches and Lights!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kim","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9904291"},{"teacherId":9904291,"projectId":9074392,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our class piano program.

Students can now clearly see their music while they practice, which has improved their focus and accuracy. The chargers have also been a game changer, allowing everyone to keep their devices powered during class. We also had snacks for post recital reception that elevated our celebrations.
