Having this sound equipment has made ALL the difference in the world for our performances. Last year, the students were hard to hear and the sound quality wasn't great. This year, we have all the stands, connections, cords, and equipment we need to make sure the kids can be heard and the music is in balance to the voices.
Thank you for your support to make this happen. Public education, the arts, and music are so important. And your support is invaluable in making the magic happen. Today, more than ever, your support is needed.”

Thank you so much for helping our art programs have the supplies they need to create amazing works of art. My kiddos are so grateful for the new art tools they needed! They have made really cool pieces and are excited to do even more with it!
Your support of public education and the arts, especially now, is imperative. Having folks who value what happens in our building and helps us make the magic happens is amazing. I am honored and grateful for your gifts and support.
Thank you for your support!”

Thank you so much for your contributions to our garden and art clubs. Your help has allowed us to grow some beautiful plants and to study them thru our art work.
Thank you for your support of public education and the arts. Being able to combine the science of growing plants and the visual study of their colors and shapes has really made some amazing connections for our students. They have been so excited to check in on the plants and care for them. And so proud that the entire school gets to enjoy them!”

Thank you for making this amazing community builder happen for my community! It is a custom item and just arrived last week.
We are so thrilled and our students and families think the step and repeat is the coolest thing. Our kids are so excited to have it and it really makes our school feel more like the cool place to be. My kiddos have asked me if we have it because they are celebrities. And i have really enjoyed telling them that they may very well grow into being a celebrity. It's been a joy watching them imagine their futures.”

Thank you so much for your support of my class room and my students. With your help we were able to replenish our tools, instruments and supplies to have what we need for an exciting school year.
Having enough instruments to put something in the hand of every student helps the students stay on track and engaged, gives them more time to play music and therefore improve their skills, and lets every student feel important.
Thank you for your support of music education and public education. Your support allows us to give our students the best experience we can!”

Thank you so much for helping our students have access to the game of chess! This year will be the first year our school has a chess team to compete in the UIL chess competition. And I am so excited to bring the game of chess to our kids and give them the skills to compete.
My students are very excited to start—our chess team starts in the spring semester and now that we have the supplies the sign up sheets are flying in. Thank you again for your belief and support of public education! Without your support we would not be able to make this happen.”

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful donations to my students. The kiddos are thrilled to have more drums in our classroom and that means each kiddo can have a drum in their hands. When we have enough for each kiddo to hold an instrument we are able to make more music and have more time spent on playing music. The more time they can make music, the more they can learn. We also have less off task behaviors when each student can be actively participating.
Thank you again for your support of the arts and public education.”

These instruments will be used in my classroom. The kids can learn to play them during class, and, because they are made of carbon fiber composite, they can be disinfected easily and used by another class another day.
My kids see me play my ukulele almost every day, and they are always telling me, "I wish I could play that!" And I always respond, "I wish I had instruments to hand you!"
My kids will be attending middle school next year,, and it would be very beneficial for them to have this experience of string instruments to build on as they choose their middle school electives.
