Thank you so much for your donations to this project! With your help, my kindergarten students have developed such an exciting love of art over the past two months! Every Monday they anticipate with glee the moment tell them to clear their desks so I can bring out our paints! This and many other artistic adventures have been made possible with the amazing supplies that were purchased through this project.
This increased awareness of and exploration of art has also translated into a greater love of reading and math as we bring all three together in our classroom. To date my students have shown, on average, 1.2 years of reading growth - an amazing accomplishment for 5 and 6 year-olds anywhere, but especially for these students who, data shows, tend to under-perform their more affluent peers. Thanks to you, my kindergartners are on their way to being 100% prepared for first grade, taking with them a love and appreciation of visual art.
Thank you very much for your support of my classroom, of art, and of education.”
We are half way through the year and I can already see the difference these music stands have made in my students music experience. Our classroom routine has been stream-lined allowing us more instructional time and disruptions due to falling stands have been eliminated.
My students have learned to take great care of the stands. At the beginning of each class students take the stands off their racks and at the end of class they place them back neatly. This was something they never cared about doing with the old broken stands.
I have seen the greatest change in my older students. Where they used to get frustrated by the failing folding stands, they are now using the new ones as their own personal desks. Each student places their music on the stand in a certain way. They have their pencil in a specific place and use the sturdy shelf to rest their bow when we are practicing pizzicato.
It truly is amazing how a small gesture can make a big difference in a child's life. Thank you so much for your donation to this project. My students and I are forever grateful.”
++++Thank you so much for your help buying our pencil sharpeners!++ ++I am sending some thank you cards from my students-++ ++I hope you enjoy them, they are quite sweet and the depictions of the sharpeners are really delightful!++ ++I will try to get more photos up on the website of our kids hard at work.++ ++We do a lot of 2 dimensional work and the sharpeners have saved a lot of time (not just theirs but mine since I'm not having to unclog the miniature sharpeners we were using!)++++++++++
++++I am lucky to work with a group of such talented and happy kids-they are a joy to work with each and every day!++ ++And although we have a limited budget to purchase supplies, we are blessed with the generosity of strangers-we often discuss your influence on our classroom and their reaction is always "Why would they buy us stuff even if they don't know us?++ ++I tell them that even though you may not know us, you want us to have the opportunity to not only to succeed, but to excel in all we do.++ ++Thank you again for your selflessness and giving to our noble cause.++ ++++ ++++++++++
I really can not believe that this is happening! You guys have exceeded all my expectations by once again meeting our need for a new marching tuba. By your wonderful gift towards music education, my beginning tubist is now the talk of the town, proudly displaying (and playing) his new shinny tuba. Also I have now recruited two new tubist in my intermediate bands and I'm sure that my next year's group will also want to be part of the newly forming tuba line. Thank you for caring!”
I can not say thank you enough for your wonderful donations you made to my project on donorschoose. The projector I received from this project has really improved the quality of learning in my first grade classroom and has help make the children so interested and excited about what it is we are doing in class. It has especially helped enhance our new math program. We have been able to use it to watch explanations of math skills, play math games online and just simply make the strategies come to life. My student teacher from CSUN was also able to put the projector to good use and make her lessons more technology friendly, which is a great thing to learn while studying to be a teacher. We have been able to use it not only for math, but for reviewing what it is we are learning in language arts by playing review games through powerpoint. As you can imagine, a 6 or 7 year old is going to love seeing these things through the computer and it is has been the only time where I really feel like I have all 21 students' attention. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your donation has made an impact!”
I would like to thank each of you personally from the bottom of my hear for making a donation so that I could have a kidney table for my classroom. Because of your generosity my students and I have the perfect work area for our small group reading intervention time. I currently work with several small groups for reading interventions at the table and because of the success I am starting math interventions at my table too. Not to mention sharing with the gifted and talented teacher so that she has a place to meet and do enrichment projects.
Due to lack of funding within my district/school I would not have this wonderful resource where I could work so closely with my students if it hadn't been for each of you. I feel that students being able to perform on grade level is vital before leaving the elementary level. For students that are behind small group instruction is key and you have made this possible for us!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the hearts of my students. Words will never be able to express how thankful we are for your support!”
Thank you so much for your generous donations to my classroom! You should have seen how their faces lit up with excitement when we got our special delivery. My class of kindergarten students are so excited by our new music system. I uploaded tons of educational songs onto the iPod as soon as it arrived, and we have been using the iPod and speakers non stop ever since. Since all of our music is organized in one place, it is so convenient and easy. We have been singing, dancing and learning all week long. They are actively engaged and excited about learning through music and movement.Without your help, my students would have never had these resources. Thanks for giving the gift of music to our classroom! ”

We had an amazing day at Broadway! Thanks to you this past week, our class went to see Wicked! The trip was unbelievable for our 30 students. From taking the subway into Manhattan and seeing the huge buildings and lights to watching the WIcked Witch fly into the air on stage - they will never forget this day! We are very grateful you were able to provide this experience for our students. This might be the only Broadway show they ever see.
The children came to school dressed to the nines with dresses, skirts, sweater vests and a few boys even wore ties! The show was spectacular and the students were mesmerized. A few favorite parts were the flying Wicked Witch, an emerald green city and the green skinned girl of course!
As we were leaving the theater, students were eager to see their parents to tell them about the show. It is days later and Wicked is still the main topic of conversation in our classroom. This is truly a day they will will always remember. Thank for making it happen! We are truly blesses by your support. ”
I would like to thank you for helping us purchase equipment that will be used for YEARS to come. Not only will the drum pads help further my students' music education, it will also help protect their ears while rehearsing indoors. Although we did not receive the equipment until after marching season, the students will be preparing for next season in the next few months and will benefit greatly from this purchase. It is great to see so many people in support of the arts - especially MUSIC! God bless you and have a wonderful year!”

Thank you so much for the microphone stands and cables! We are using them every day in class getting ready for our performance. We'll take them to the stage soon as we get close to dress rehearsals. They work great! They're so easily adjustable and the students like them.
As the teacher, I'm very glad to be able to stop carrying mike stands across town from one building to the other when we have performances. And it's so nice to have the stands available in the classroom so students feel comfortable using them before they get to the dress rehearsal.
Thanks again so much. You guys are great!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Porter
