My students thrive in this well stocked, and clean classroom. \r\n My students were thankful to receive the 3 ring binders.

No more forgetting music, or stuffing music into a backpack to become crumpled up and unreadable.\r\n The clorox, as you know, is essential to maintaining a clean atmosphere. Students are more conscious about cleanliness than ever and this helps them to have the reassurance that we are doing everything we can to support their well being.\r\n\r\nThank you for all you do to support teachers and classrooms like mine.","fullyFundedDate":1754564812734,"projectUrl":"project/stock-up-clean-up/9471047/","projectTitle":"Stock Up & Clean Up!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Benedict","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7062467_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y340&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1657241331223","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7062467"},{"teacherId":7062467,"projectId":9131813,"letterContent":"Thank you for the gifts you have provided to my classroom.

Once they all have instruments in the room, I will be able to gift all of them with the mouthpieces and reeds you have provided to us through your generosity.\r\n\r\n I can tell you from experience, the looks on their faces is priceless when they get their brand new mouthpieces to play on. They'll all be laughing and experiencing all the joys of our LOUD classroom in that first week of playing. \r\n Thank you for your gifts.
