They like that they have the opportunity to shoot on multiple goals at different levels. \r\n\r\nBecause I have so many students who are not able to shoot on the high goals that are in the gym, these have given those students a chance to be able to participate at their level and not be left out of activities. \r\n\r\nBecause they are portable, I am able to take them outside for Field Day events or other school events or even if I decide to have class outside one day.

The bass recorder is a dream come true for our recorder kids. They were so excited to try it out. \r\nThis spring we are going to have our school show off for grades 2-5. The students are already vying for the role of bass recorder player. They are working hard and your donation has inspired them to reach new heights. I appreciate you giving them this renewed sense of excitement and goals to achieve. \r\nFinally, let me thank you for giving me a chance to have a full recorder ensemble. Each year I set a short term and long term goal for myself and the students. For some time now it has been a goal to have a complete recorder ensemble perform at a public performance. I am overjoyed that you helped make this long term goal a possibility.
