GJHS Choral Library Funding
Funded Nov 22, 2024First of all, thank you so much for contributing to my Donor's Choose project to help fund more resources for my Choral Library at my school. We are a new school that opened during Covid (2020) and have the least amount of resources in my district. I am also new to this position and learning tremendously about the kinds of things/repertoire that I need to help my students be truly successful as junior high choir students. Your donation is helping us take off on our journey, and will help shape the minds and dreams of many students for several years to come!
My students were so excited when they saw the boxes come into my office! They know that I am always on the hunt for new music and music specific to their individual ensemble's needs, so they were excited to go through and explore the boxes! We received the items right before Christmas, so we spent an entire afternoon sorting through music, listening to several pieces, and getting them organized into their storage boxes for easy access later. Several of the pieces I had on this project were songs from other cultures and in other languages, so it was enthusing to watch them look through/listen to those pieces.
I am equally thankful for the books that were on this project that are going to help me learn how to serve my students in bigger and more creative ways! There are several books that will help with sight reading, singing in rounds/partner songs, older sacred pieces, fun and quirky tunes, and many others yet to be seen/read that I am excited to use this year and many more years to come. You have not only inspired and excited my students, but have lit a new fire inside of me. Our future successes and growth will be because of your thoughtful donation, and for that, we are truly grateful. Thank you again for your donation to my choral classroom. The future of these student's education was made more secure by you!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Cotroneo
