Getting the official scripts, music, and choreography videos has completely changed how we run our after-school musical. We've gone from planning a basic school play to putting on a truly dynamic show.\r\n\r\nThe students' excitement was clear the second they saw the materials. Holding their own colorful script books made the show feel real.\r\n\r\nYou have given these young performers a great set of tools for learning to act, sing, and dance. At the same time, this experience teaches them about teamwork and self-control. We can't wait to share the final performance with you and the community this spring.\r\n\r\nThank you again for truly supporting arts education and for making this spectacular trip into the ocean possible for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1756152406851,"projectUrl":"project/finding-nemo-kids-school-musical-perform/9608102/","projectTitle":"Finding Nemo Kids School Musical Performance","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. N.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2416591_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1526843175933","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2416591"},{"teacherId":12897,"projectId":8608305,"letterContent":"Thank you very much for granting us the materials for indoor gardening. \r\nThe students were very excited to see the indoor water garden mini ecosystem, as you will see in the pictures. \r\nWe started the seedlings and I need to get a fish to complete the ecosystem and set up the plants on top. \r\nAlso we got a Zen Garden Kit that students are starting to use, as you can see in the pictures.
