One of our favorite traditions is allowing students to design the cover of their choir binder, and being able to provide new binders each year has made that tradition a meaningful constant for our program.\r\n\r\nWhen the students saw the materials, they were elated. Knowing these supplies were already provided meant one less thing their families had to purchase—a relief that truly matters, as financial stress can be a real burden for many of our parents.\r\n\r\nOur next goal is to secure new attire for our Concert Choir. We are a competitive, award-winning ensemble, yet we have never had choir gowns that we were able to choose ourselves. Our current gowns were generously donated, and we are incredibly thankful for that support; however, after years of use, they are now falling apart and have large holes that are difficult to repair.\r\n\r\nDespite this, our students continue to show up, sing with pride, and support one another. They love being together, they love making music, and they continue to achieve at a high level. Providing new choir attire would not only restore a professional appearance on stage, but it would also give these students a renewed sense of pride and ownership in a program they work so hard to represent.","fullyFundedDate":1748029046410,"projectUrl":"project/choir-students/9369767/","projectTitle":"Choir Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kruth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10040412"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18953","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":556,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":59,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":10.0,"schoolId":18953,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Scottsburg Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Scottsburg Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/indiana/scott-county-school-district-2/scottsburg-middle-school/18953"}
