We have used the tuners in the classroom as well as on stage during concerts and they are such time savers! They are awesome!\r\n\r\nMy students and myself love the fact that they are rechargeable because students can easily plug it in during class time and it is ready to go for the next day. Our previous tuners were worn out and required batteries and it was such a hassle trying to find or purchase batteries constantly. These tuners have greatly and positively affected the flow in our classroom environment.\r\n\r\nWe have two big competitions coming up, UIL Solo and Ensemble and UIL Concert and Sight-Reading, the tuners are going to be a huge help on these events and I know will help my students be successful.\r\n\r\nThank you one again for donating to our project.

Because of your kindness, I was able to provide healthy snacks for our students who often come to school hungry and struggle to concentrate throughout the day.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a real and immediate impact as many of our students face food insecurity at home, and having access to snacks at school has not only helped ease their hunger but has also created a more positive, focused learning environment. I've noticed increased engagement in class, improved moods, and even more consistent attendance—small changes that make a huge difference in the lives of young people. It may seem like a simple thing—just snacks—but to our students, it means someone cares, and that someone is donors like you!
