On behalf of the Edgar Hooks School, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution toward purchasing pianos for our students.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, we are able to provide young musicians with the opportunity to learn, grow, and express themselves through music. This has been integrated into student's lives through the development of a piano club and a second grade mini-unit on playing the piano. Your generosity has not only helped us acquire these beautiful instruments but has also opened doors for students who may not have otherwise had access to a piano.\r\n\r\nThe joy and excitement on our students' faces as they play begin to experiment with all the pianos have to offer is a testament to the impact of your support. Because of you, they now have the tools to develop their talents, build confidence, and experience the transformative power of music.\r\n\r\nWe truly appreciate your generosity and belief in our mission. Your support is helping shape the future of aspiring musicians, and we are incredibly grateful for your role in making this possible.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for your kindness and generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1735657815090,"projectUrl":"project/keys-to-equity-a-portable-piano-lab/8893811/","projectTitle":"Keys to Equity: A Portable Piano Lab","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Saiff McGee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7158326_orig.jpg?crop=604,604,x72,y110&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1664537770886","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7158326"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62949","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":430,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":84,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"1 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"11.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.1,"schoolId":62949,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Edgar Hooks Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Edgar Hooks Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/chelsea-public-schools/edgar-hooks-elementary-school/62949"}
