Before we had the ukulele straps, students struggled to hold their instruments in the correct position and had difficulty strumming. The straps have made a noticeable difference by helping students keep their ukuleles secure and in the correct position. \r\nMy 5th grade students are currently learning how to play \"Take Me Home, Country Roads\" by John Denver on ukulele, and they're really excited to perform it at their fall concert in November.

The materials funded through this project were used to create tutus and costume pieces for our end-of-year performances at the school Block Party and our closing assembly. For many of these kids, this was their first time performing in front of an audience — and they did it dressed the part.\r\n\r\nThe moment the students first saw the tutus, the room absolutely erupted. There were squeals of pure delight, kids spinning in circles, and one student — beaming from ear to ear — looked up and said, \"Now we are real ballerinas.\" That moment said everything. These costumes didn't just add sparkle to a performance; they gave our students a sense of identity, pride, and belonging in something they love.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our Ballet Club will carry this momentum into next school year. With costumes waiting for them, students are already excited to continue building their skills and performing together. What started as an after-school club has become a real artistic community — and thanks to you, they have the costumes to prove it.","fullyFundedDate":1778116715038,"projectUrl":"project/every-dancer-deserves-to-shine-costumes/10198815/","projectTitle":"Every Dancer Deserves to Shine: Costumes for Ballet Club","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ciarrocchi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10469022_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1776616863735","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10469022"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35929","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":354,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":64,"percentAsian":12,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":12,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.8,"schoolId":35929,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Renton Park Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Renton Park Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/renton-school-district-403/renton-park-elementary-school/35929"}
