I can't tell you the difference this makes! I know that students ask for music during their work time and now I am able to use the speaker to allow them to listen to music easily. I also appreciate that this is bluetooth so that I can operate the music easily from my cell phone. \r\n\r\nThe bouncy bands are wonderful for fidgety feet and students are really enjoying them! Your generosity and thoughtfulfulness has been SO very appreciated.
