Your gift was exactly what I needed in a co-general/ co-instrumental music classroom to get started on the right foot.\r\n\r\nThe stand rack was essential for classroom organization. I see the great impact and difference an organized classroom makes in my students learning. The first aid kit has saved students from unnecessary runs to the office across the school. With band-aids in the class, learning is less likely interrupted. My own classroom markers for my younger students have enhanced their creativity. Finally, a speaker is an absolute must in a music classroom. I'm glad I was able to get something to amplify sound other than the TV.\r\n\r\nGoing forward this has given me a good idea as to what items are essential in a music classroom. My items were hundreds of dollars which is not typically in anyone's budget at my school. I'm so thankful I was able to receive this donation so that my school can support me in other ways throughout the school year.","fullyFundedDate":1760693805793,"projectUrl":"project/bring-back-music-class/9661151/","projectTitle":"Bring Back Music Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Arreguin Barreras","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10230113"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_41266","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":425,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.9,"schoolId":41266,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Colorado Sports Leadership Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Colorado Sports Leadership Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/colorado/westminster-public-schools/scott-carpenter-middle-school/41266"}
