Over the past semester, 10 students in grades 2 through 5 have had the chance to pick up their very own harmonicas (next semester there will be 13 students impacted), and their excitement was contagious from the moment they opened their harmonica and learned the ins and outs. It was clear how much it meant to them to receive these instruments, and the knowledge that they can keep their harmonicas and practice for years to come brought true happiness to our students.\r\n\r\nYour support has given these young musicians more than music lessons. It's offered them new skills, confidence, and a welcoming place to belong each week they come. Listening to their progress, from the very first notes of \"You Are My Sunshine,\" has been a joyful experience for everyone involved. The pride and smiles shared by our students are a direct reflection of your kindness and encouragement.\r\n\r\nWe are sincerely grateful for the lasting impact you've made. Thanks to you, our Shine Time harmonica club has become a highlight of the school year and a cherished memory for every student. You have made a wonderful difference, not just in our club, but in our school community.","fullyFundedDate":1758501310810,"projectUrl":"project/harmonica-shine-club-inspiring-confiden/9717003/","projectTitle":"Harmonica Shine Club: Inspiring Confidence and Creativity in Young Musicians","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rozean","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10263255"},{"teacherId":10243569,"projectId":9687495,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations of books and supplies to our classroom! Your support has made a tremendous difference for all of my students—especially those with dyslexia. They absolutely love listening to the new books, which helps them strengthen their listening comprehension and hear examples of fluent reading in action. In our classroom, reading looks a little different: students with dyslexia participate in a structured, multisensory reading program designed specifically for their needs, while others work on building their reading comprehension skills. Because of your kindness, every student has the opportunity to grow, engage with meaningful stories, and develop a lifelong love of reading.","fullyFundedDate":1757701928836,"projectUrl":"project/helping-kids-reach-their-full-potential/9687495/","projectTitle":"Helping Kids Reach Their Full Potential!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McFarlin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10243569_orig.png?crop=906,906,x901,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757083717872","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10243569"},{"teacherId":5189903,"projectId":9217227,"letterContent":"My students come to my group because they are dyslexic and struggle with reading.
