My students were so excited to see we finally got a new guitar they could use! Students use our guitar after getting their work done, some have stayed during lunch to play the guitar, while others have taken up a new-found interest in learning how to play it! Additionally, our new headphones have been a tremendous help. Students are able to record their verbal presentations using quality technology that helps them focus and record clearly. \r\n\r\nI know these new resources will continue to be put to use for many years to come and it is all thanks to you!
