However, they knew how our instruments were in dire need of upgrades and were extremely happy when we could add a new keyboard to our band! Our first student to use the keyboard felt very honored and humbled to know that there are amazing people in the world that would use their hard earned money to help others.

I also had the pleasure of playing chess with a student yesterday and I learned so much about this student, both as a person and as a chess player. \r\n\r\nMy next steps will be to walk all of my students through a relaxation activity in the calming corner so that they learn how to access peace of mind even in the middle of a \r\nfull daily schedule.","fullyFundedDate":1750774661863,"projectUrl":"project/calming-corner-for-high-school-students/9424425/","projectTitle":"Calming Corner for High School Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Christy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10060188_orig.jpg?crop=1170,1170,x0,y187&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1750376407270","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10060188"},{"teacherId":5831964,"projectId":9165938,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our students through your donation of classroom supplies.
