This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 9 other donors.Print Me Up a Good Musical Score!
Funded Apr 17, 2022Thank you so much for being a part of this group of people coming together to support and encourage the incredible growth taking place in our music classrooms. Every day we are pushing ourselves to learn more and become stronger in analytical skills and these materials being brought into our classroom are so essential in helping us try to reach all of our students. Seeing it in a different way can bring about that 'Aha!' moment. Suddenly, it all just clicks and a student finally understands what was unclear so many times before. But even more magical than that is that you are showing my students that so many people care about their education and want them to succeed and that alone makes them want to try harder and learn more. Thank you for making all of this possible!”

Building the Apple Music Program from the Ground Up
Funded Jul 25, 2021We want to thank you so much for your generosity. I can't begin to tell you what it means to these kids to have information at their fingertips! They are sweet, hard-working, highly intelligent kids who sometimes just need a little boost, and you are all part of that for them. They are already designing the first project for us to do with our new tablets. Again, thank you, and we will send you pictures after we get the tablets to show you what we've done! Our classroom is a better place because of your awesome contribution.”

This classroom project was brought to life by Emerson Collective and 8 other donors.Even the Bassists Need a Place to Sit.....
Funded Dec 4, 2020First of all I would like to express my deepest appreciation to you for your warm support. Many of our normal donors have been affected by the economic impact of the pandemic and were unable to support the students of the Maury High School Orchestras this school year. We managed to purchase much needed supplies to make sure all the students in the Maury High School Orchestra are equipped with the best strings, rosin and music through out the remainder of this school year and the beginning of the next.
Considering that we were looking at having a minimal amount of supplies at the start of the this academic year, we have made great progress and it is all thanks to your kind support. We are resolved to continue our efforts to build a world class program. One behalf of the members of the orchestra, I once again would like to express my deepest gratitude to your for your solidarity.”

More Cellos More Space Needed
Funded Dec 11, 2020Thank you for your generous gifts to the Maury High School Orchestras of a new cello storage rack. These gifts are a great benefit to our Orchestra program and to the students who use the cellos on a daily basis. Your wonderful gifts build upon the support that we have had in the past and your partnership continues to strengthen our Orchestra program.
With only a small amount of funds coming from the district, the Maury Orchestra program relies on both financial and in-kind donations to support our program that inspire hundreds of students, not including their parents and the surrounding community each year. We hope you will take pride in knowing that your support of the Maury High School Orchestra will positively impact the arts in Norfolk and beyond.”
