Through this project our school drumline got to add two new snare drums, a new quad drum and a supply of new drumsticks. Our drumline has existed for about 12 years and we were in great need of new instruments as a few snares are wearing out. I feel truly blessed to have my project funded. \r\n My students are super excited to use the new drums and sticks. They are especially excited to try out their skills on the new quad drum. This will be an added feature to our drumline performances that we do for our school each quarter. I think our audience will be just as excited to see and hear our new drums! Thank you so much for sharing your love of music with us.","fullyFundedDate":1750018492630,"projectUrl":"project/weve-got-the-beat/9398892/","projectTitle":"We've Got the Beat!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Matthews","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2808370"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72053","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":519,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":22,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":59,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":66.5,"schoolId":72053,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harp Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harp Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arkansas/springdale-public-schools/harp-elementary-school/72053"}
