This has been a great addition to our learning environment. I've used it for band practice, to connect via Bluetooth so the students can play with an accompaniment. This is a big improvement over my personal little Bluetooth speaker which didn't project well at all. In fact, it wasn't loud enough to hear when the whole band was playing. This, on the other hand, projects well enough that even the students in the back can hear. There is good bass that can be felt as well as heard, which is great feature. I haven't used it yet to play other media like CDs or vinyl, but am looking forward to using those features as well. In addition, the stereo has a feature that it can take CD, cassette tape, or vinyl and save them to a USB drive, which will help preserve some older media and help it be usable in today's digital age. Thank you again for providing funds for this welcome addition to our music room!!!","fullyFundedDate":1787320628411,"projectUrl":"project/vintage-music-for-todays-students/10493944/","projectTitle":"Vintage Music for Today’s Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McKelvey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1113956_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y417&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1672885065679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1113956"},{"teacherId":1113956,"projectId":10710750,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity and supplying my classroom with materials to help all students - both neurodiverse and neurotypical - regroup and regulate in our music classroom.

The materials will be shared between all 3 music teachers who use our classroom and will be accessible to every student in the building.

It has been a wonderful addition to be able to play and stream music loud enough for my whole band to hear clearly. In addition, it is portable enough that we will be able to use it for concerts in other venues such as our cafeteria or the firehall for the tree-lighting ceremony. It is great to be able to control what is being played from a mobile device and not have my computer tethered to a speaker. But the general music teacher prefers to plug-in, so having both options is very beneficial for our classroom.

Now, thanks to you, I have seen a wonderful shift in the classroom. It is heartening to see their faces light up when they have a healthy snack, and their engagement in our reading block has noticeably improved because they are nourished and ready to learn.\r\nSeeing my students feel supported and cared for by people they have never even met is a powerful lesson in community for them. Your gift didn't just provide supplies; it provided a sense of security and warmth that helps them thrive every single day.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for helping us create the best possible environment for their growth.
