Your generosity has given my students more than just new drumsticks. It has given them additional opportunities to learn, practice, create, and find their own voice through music.\r\nReceiving these materials has made a meaningful difference in our music classroom. The new drumsticks allow students to participate more fully in our rhythm activities and develop important skills such as coordination, timing, focus, listening, and teamwork. Students are able to practice their playing with the proper materials and experience the excitement that comes from making music together.\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of this project has been watching students become more confident as they practice. Music gives students an opportunity to challenge themselves, make mistakes, try again, and celebrate their progress. Something as simple as successfully playing a rhythm they once struggled with can create a genuine sense of accomplishment.\r\nThe drumsticks have also helped create more opportunities for students to work together. As they practice rhythms and play as an ensemble, they learn that every individual part matters. They have to listen to one another, stay focused, and work together to create something greater than what they could accomplish alone. These are skills that extend far beyond the music classroom.\r\nYour donation has helped make music more accessible and engaging for my students. Every time a student picks up a pair of drumsticks and begins to play, they are building musical skills while also developing confidence, perseverance, and a sense of belonging.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their education. Your generosity has helped put the tools for creativity and musical expression directly into their hands. We are truly grateful for your support of Drumsticks for the Beat and for helping our students find their rhythm!\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\n\r\n\r\nDr. Walsh","fullyFundedDate":1786541611753,"projectUrl":"project/drum-sticks-for-the-beat/10296070/","projectTitle":"Drum Sticks for the Beat!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Brad Walsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10354929"},{"teacherId":10354929,"projectId":9906798,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our DonorsChoose project \"Reeds for Rising Musicians.\" Because of\r\nyour generosity, our clarinet and saxophone students now have a supply of high-quality reeds to use in\r\nclass.\r\nReeds may seem like a small item, but for wind players they make an enormous difference. Thanks to\r\nyour support, I was able to provide our students with good-quality reeds rather than the inexpensive\r\nones that often wear out quickly and don't produce the same warm, full sound. Right away, the\r\nimprovement in tone and response was noticeable. Students are finding it easier to play, and they're\r\nmuch more confident in the sounds they're creating.\r\nAbout 20 students in our band are benefiting from these reeds. Having reliable materials available in the\r\nband room helps ensure that every student can participate fully in rehearsals and continue developing\r\ntheir skills as musicians.\r\nOne of my favorite moments recently was hearing the section play together with their new reeds—the\r\nblend and tone were stronger, and the students themselves noticed the difference. Seeing their\r\nexcitement and pride in their sound is exactly why resources like this matter so much.\r\nYour kindness and support help make music education possible for our students, and it reminds them\r\nthat people beyond our school believe in them and their potential. Thank you for investing in their\r\ngrowth, their creativity, and their music.","fullyFundedDate":1765305262772,"projectUrl":"project/reeds-for-rising-musicians/9906798/","projectTitle":"Reeds for Rising Musicians","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Brad Walsh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10354929"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_43157","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":748,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":22,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.2,"schoolId":43157,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mifflin High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mifflin High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/columbus-city-school-district/mifflin-high-school/43157"}
