The wireless sound system allows every child to clearly hear directions, musical examples, and encouragement, helping students feel more confident and successful. I am able to move freely throughout the room to support students while protecting my voice, which keeps our classroom positive and energetic.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting impacts has been the ability to bring music outdoors. The portability of this system lets us take our lessons outside, where students can sing, move, and create music in a fresh environment while staying fully engaged. Students absolutely light up when they get to use the microphones—whether leading a warm-up, sharing ideas, or performing for their classmates. Even my quieter students are finding the courage to step forward and let their voices be heard.\r\n\r\nThis gift has done more than provide equipment; it has helped create meaningful musical experiences, strengthened student confidence, and filled our classroom with joy. I am incredibly grateful for the support that continues to make music come alive for my students every day.","fullyFundedDate":1760693722150,"projectUrl":"project/loud-and-clear-giving-every-student-a-v/9756439/","projectTitle":"Loud and Clear: Giving Every Student a Voice","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Shiver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7967594_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628781964562","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7967594"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50630","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":411,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"12.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":56.3,"schoolId":50630,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Matt Wilson Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Matt Wilson Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/tift-county-school-district/matt-wilson-elementary-school/50630"}
