Because of your kindness, we now have a set of instruments that have truly transformed our music-making and opened new doors for creativity.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the ukuleles, my students and I have been using them to learn chords, accompany songs, and explore the joy of playing together as an ensemble. One special moment I'll never forget was the very first time they strummed as a group—when the sound filled the room, their faces lit up with surprise and pride. For many of them, this was the first time they had ever played a stringed instrument, and the excitement was contagious.\r\n\r\nThe students' initial reaction was pure joy—there were smiles, laughter, and even applause for each other as they began experimenting with the strings. Several immediately asked if they could take the ukuleles home to keep practicing, which shows just how inspiring these instruments have been.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next project is learning to play and sing simple songs as a full class. We'll be focusing on chord transitions, strumming patterns, and eventually building towards a performance where students can showcase their new skills. Your donation has given us not only instruments, but also a pathway to teamwork, creativity, and confidence.\r\n\r\nThank you again for believing in our students and giving them this opportunity. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we are so excited to continue this musical journey.","fullyFundedDate":1674751389339,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-ukuleles/7127174/","projectTitle":"Classroom Ukuleles!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Money","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8923385_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732228084295","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8923385"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96849","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":575,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":65,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"4 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.1,"schoolId":96849,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Grove Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Grove Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/beech-grove-city-school-district/south-grove-intermediate-school/96849"}
