Now, they don't have to struggle so hard to make a beautiful sound on their clarinet. Little things mean a lot and these ligatures really prove that.

With your help, we are able to offer almost 60 students this year the opportunity to learn how to play the clarinet, free of charge. Reeds usually cost about $3/each. Not only is it difficult for parents to order or purchase reeds, but it is also expensive. With your help, our students will never have to worry about having the reeds they need -- my reed cabinet is well-stocked and the students are able to easily get reeds when they need them.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making this possible for our students. They don't need to know how expensive reeds are, they just need to know that they can count on having a fresh one when they need it.

The snacks you provided allow students to grab something small when they're not feeling well, when lunch wasn't quite enough, or when they simply need a little boost to get through the rest of the day. We created the table in a visible, welcoming space so students can access it with dignity and without having to explain themselves. It has quickly become a quiet but powerful support system on our campus.\r\n\r\nWhen students first saw the snack table, they could not believe it was available to them for free. Some were hesitant at first, unsure if it was really meant for them. Over time, though, they've embraced it in such a responsible and thoughtful way. They understand it's a shared resource and have been using it with intention — not abusing it. We've already noticed shifts in energy, focus, and overall attitude in the classroom. A small snack has helped prevent headaches, irritability, and distractions, allowing students to stay engaged and ready to learn. They are beyond thrilled, and we are so thankful.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, we are already thinking about how to sustain this resource once our current supply runs out. The impact has been so clear that we are committed to finding ways to keep it stocked. For now, please know that your support has done more than provide food — it has provided care, stability, and a reminder to our students that their community believes in them. Thank you for making this possible. Your generosity is felt every single day.","fullyFundedDate":1763498236311,"projectUrl":"project/fueling-student-success-one-snack-at-a/9800889/","projectTitle":"Fueling Student Success, One Snack at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cazares","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10305027_orig.jpg?crop=800,800,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761599579401","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10305027"},{"teacherId":3856085,"projectId":9625251,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing these trombone cases to our band program.
