Thanks for understanding that our students have needs and special talents that are usually go ignored on account of the emphasis on standardized testing. You have made a difference in their lives and they will appreciate your generosity always.

Sincerely,

Thank you so much for funding my project, "Let's Sing, Dance, and Learn: Cantamos, Bailamos y Aprendemos". I am so excited to go back to school after the break and tell my students that we will soon be recording our own songs to improve Spanish proficiency. My students and I thank you in advance for your generosity”

Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom, school and children. We will enjoy using this listening center with some of the new books on CD that were recently purchased. Because of your donation, our current class (as well as future classes) will have the ability to listen to great literature and music”

Thank you so much for your love and care for our children. With the Deluxe Karaoke System, I plan to motivate my 3rd-5th graders to sing more. I plan to create an "American Idol" within each class. With the Gathering Drum, I plan to create an atmosphere of working together to create music among my Prek-2nd grade students. Thank you so much for helping me motivate my students through music. Be Blessed! C. ”

Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom! I was so excited to open my email and see that I would be receiving all of these wonderful books. I cannot wait to get back to school and tell my students about the new books they will be getting. They will be very excited! Thank you again for your kindness.

Words cannot adequately express how much this donation means to my students, my colleagues, my school, and me. Our class novel has inspired our creativity, but your donation will inspire our generosity.

To those donors who I know, thank you for your support during my first year of teaching. This career has many rewards, but it is very demanding. Without your help, I would not be able to do what I do.

To those donors who I do not know, a special thank you. We may never meet, and yet your donation will have a profound effect on my teaching career. More importantly, it will touch the lives of thousands of students for years to come.

Thanks again for your kindness and your commitment to education. Have a happy holiday season and best wishes in 2008!

Kind regards,

WOW!!! What a great Christmas gift! Thank you so much for the donation of classical CDs and CD players. All the 5th and 6th grade teachers are just thrilled to be able to start the new year with peaceful yet brain stimulating music. We will have it playing as background music all day during classes and hope to create an oasis of calm in this inner city school.

Thanks again..you are the BEST!!

I can't wait to share the news with my students! We've been working very hard this year to improve our music literacy, and these xylophones will be such a great asset to our program. It may be a while before they're ready to bang out the intro to "Mr. Sandman", but but you know what they say -- you gotta walk before you can run. Now, thanks to your generosity, my students will get that opportunity.

Sincerely,
