Many of our students need to borrow a school instrument to make music and you made more instruments available to them. \r\n\r\nWe have so many bassists this year and getting another bass amp was such a gift. One student is learning a song from Lincoln Park and is using the bass amp we bought with the donation money. \r\n\r\nMany of the students at our school are learning to play the guitar. It was so helpful to add two guitars and a guitar amp to our class. We have a group of students that is learning punk music and use guitar and amp. They also use the glass slide when playing guitar, which is such a cool effect. \r\n\r\nBecause of all the guitars we were able to buy, we also needed a new guitar rack to keep them accessible and safe, so thank you for that, too. \r\n\r\nThank you for all the equipment we were able to buy because of your donation. We appreciate it and will use it well.","fullyFundedDate":1766548771513,"projectUrl":"project/cello-for-slcse/9652910/","projectTitle":"Cello for SLCSE","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Noel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9818338_orig.jpg?crop=2320,2320,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756229650601","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9818338"},{"teacherId":7266652,"projectId":9866887,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation.

Students loved all the snacks and the variety that was provided.

My students have really enjoyed having these resources available. We use them as a way for students to take a short break from their classwork when they're feeling overwhelmed or need a moment to reset. It's been especially helpful during long assignments or tough days—students will spend a few minutes coloring or playing a short board game, and then come back to their work more focused and ready to go.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, my students were really excited. They were curious about all the new items and quickly started trying them out. It didn't take long for certain supplies—like the coloring books and board games—to become class favorites. Right now, we're continuing to work on building focus and self-awareness through small daily habits like taking meaningful breaks, managing time, and communicating clearly. These supplies have added a simple but really effective way to support those skills in our daily routine.","fullyFundedDate":1730571450419,"projectUrl":"project/mindfulness-for-juniors-and-seniors/8913425/","projectTitle":"Mindfulness for Juniors and Seniors","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dent","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8279596_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642616850244","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-dent"},{"teacherId":9817913,"projectId":8908992,"letterContent":"The puzzle board, fidgets and coloring supplies have become a key tool for students to take mental health and self-care breaks in directed studies classes. My students all have challenges and barriers to overcome in the school setting, whether it's a reading disability, behavioral challenges or executive functioning differences. Directed Studies class is a place where I support them in completing work, reteach concepts, and teach organizational and social emotional skills. I encourage students to self-regulate their motivation and stress using activities like puzzles, coloring, and the calming corner either before initiating or to reward their hard work.
