Because of your kindness, my students now have access to engaging new books and much-needed organization items that will make a lasting impact on our daily learning.\r\nThe books you provided are already sparking curiosity, excitement, and meaningful conversations among my students. Having high-quality, age-appropriate texts helps foster a love of reading while strengthening comprehension, critical thinking, and confidence. The organization items are equally valuable, creating a more structured, welcoming environment where students can stay focused, take responsibility for their materials, and spend more time learning.\r\nYour generosity directly supports my students' growth and success, and I am truly grateful for your investment in their education.

Students who were shy about playing out loud began participating because they could control their volume and hear themselves clearly. The instruments helped level the playing field—beginners could focus on clean finger placement and steady rhythm without getting drowned out, while more advanced students could explore tone, dynamics, and musical expression. Attendance and effort improved because students felt like they were part of something modern and \"real,\" like the instruments musicians actually use on stage.\r\n\r\nInstructionally, the electric ukuleles made our rehearsals more focused and more musical. We could rehearse as a true ensemble: balance parts, shape dynamics together, and practice listening skills instead of just \"trying to be loud enough.\" The ability to plug in also allowed for quicker feedback during class—students could hear when a chord buzzed, when rhythm rushed, or when a line didn't blend. As a result, students performed with more confidence, families could actually hear their children at showcases, and our program gained momentum through stronger concerts and proud student ownership.","fullyFundedDate":1704581686449,"projectUrl":"project/electric-ukuleles-for-students/7991032/","projectTitle":"Electric Ukuleles for Students!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sanchez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9349779_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704420059714","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/skypointeguitar"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_104842","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2172,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.9,"schoolId":104842,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Somerset Academy - Sky Pointe Elementary on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Somerset Academy - Sky Pointe Elementary","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/somerset-academy-sky-pointe/104842"}
