Thank you so much for your donation. Our students have been working on various percussion instruments this year and adding this instrument to our collection was perfect timing.\r\n\r\nWhen the students saw the box sitting in the middle of our floor, you could barely contain their excitement. They knew that this instrument had been ordered at the beginning of the year, and they were anxious to see it and play it. To watch their face light up and their excitement grow was wonderful.\r\n\r\nI am going to incorporate this drum into our next lesson. It will go nicely with the other African drums and shakeres. \r\n\r\nThank you again for your support support of our music program.","fullyFundedDate":1760693790846,"projectUrl":"project/lets-add-a-djembe-to-our-class/9598838/","projectTitle":"Let’s Add a Djembe To Our Class!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Arndt","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp51663_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y9&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1619212460608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/51663"},{"teacherId":51663,"projectId":9690024,"letterContent":"The students were extremely excited when they came into the classroom and saw the two instruments sitting on the floor.

Money is tight, and our demographics do not lend to donations from families within the district. Having the opportunity to submit these projects to donors, choose is a great opportunity.\r\n\r\nIt is donors like you that made this possible.
