The option to further teach students how to properly and responsibly take care of the physical appearance of their instrument will help build character and intrinsic motivation. Many students at this school are use to receiving used items, whether those items are personal or academic-related. Them knowing they have a part in making sure the instruments they use continue to look good and last longer will naturally boost their self-esteem and music ability.\r\n\r\n The items donated to our program arrived after the school year ended, so these students will not be able to begin their \"Instrument-Care is Self-Care\" journey but next school year holds the option cleaning their instruments at the very beginning and the very end, helping them to see how their instruments should be maintained through-out their 10-months in school.\r\n\r\nThank you so much. This means a lot of our students and community.","fullyFundedDate":1746773391708,"projectUrl":"project/instrument-care-is-self-care/9048068/","projectTitle":"Instrument Care Is Self-Care","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5351314_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1534430410190","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/milton-williams"},{"teacherId":5351314,"projectId":8916661,"letterContent":"Thank you for your gift of musical sound and security! \r\n\r\n The purchased rosin for our violin, viola, cello, and bass bows helps to magnify the sound of our students produces. This may seem like a simple detail but string instruments can be quite subtle in their sound, especially compared to band instruments. With their stronger sound, they gain more confidence, not only in their own ability but in their ability to perform with their classmates now that they all can be heard more easily.\r\n\r\n The security of the bass quiver is significant for young bass students when moving their instrument from one room to the next. Having the option to quickly place their bow in the quiver to change their music on the music stand or pick-up their instrument for any reason provides confidence as they perform. Your financial support will help magnify the abilities of these young musicians.

The erasers allow each group to easily edit and refine their work, promoting teamwork and critical thinking. The abundance of colored pencils has encouraged creativity in class assignments, and the storage containers are perfect for organizing pencils and folders, helping students stay prepared and focused.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donations, we also have plenty of pencils for every student to complete their assignments without worry. Additionally, our classroom is now cleaner and more sanitary. Students sanitize their hands regularly before lunch, staying prepared for flu season. With hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes, we can clean desks and prevent germs from spreading, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to see the materials you provided. They were excited to use the colored pencils in their group projects and the markers on the large chart paper you donated. Seeing their smiles and enthusiasm as they collaborated successfully was truly heartwarming.\r\n\r\nMy future projects will focus on incorporating more technology to enhance learning and cater to various learning styles. My goal is to ensure that each student has a durable pair of headphones—flexible enough to bend but strong enough not to break, symbolizing our collective strength.
