Students have shown remarkable enthusiasm about the new storage solution, demonstrating genuine curiosity and excitement about taking ownership of their rehearsal setup process. This innovative approach allows students to independently retrieve and return their music stands, creating a more efficient and organized rehearsal environment while developing important life skills like responsibility and time management.\r\n\r\nThe positive impact of this organizational system extends beyond mere storage efficiency. Students have embraced their new responsibilities with enthusiasm, creating a more streamlined transition between setup and actual rehearsal time. By entrusting students with the task of managing their own equipment, we're not only maintaining better organization of our music stands but also cultivating a sense of ownership and pride in their band program. This student-led approach to equipment management has proven to be an effective strategy for maintaining an organized rehearsal space while simultaneously developing important leadership and responsibility skills that will benefit students both in and outside of the music room.","fullyFundedDate":1730388012514,"projectUrl":"project/a-place-to-hang-your-music-stand/8602410/","projectTitle":"A Place to Hang Your Music Stand","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Justin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8458106_orig.png?crop=872,872,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1659540758365","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8458106"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_38394","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":89,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":94,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.2,"schoolId":38394,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Stoddard Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Stoddard Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/wisconsin/de-soto-area-school-district/stoddard-elementary-school/38394"}
