I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how your donation has impacted my students. When I decided to write the proposal to ask for donations, I knew that the need for the reeds was high, but with the way the economy has affected my students neighborhood, your donation actually allowed us to continue playing this past semester. Before the reeds arrived, I had parents telling me they would not be able to let their children continue because they could not afford to keep buying reeds (I've never had parents tell me that). I told them to hold on, we had help coming...and they did. We had no less than seven students that were able to continue on in band because of those reeds and your donation.”
Thank you so much for the wonderful and whimsical music that your donation provided to my classroom. The children just LOVE to listen to the silly songs. I love to watch them learning while they are dancing. Their favorite song so far is "Kids Just Want to Have Fun". Its such a joy to be able to supply my classroom and students with a love of learning that is fostered through the enjoyment of music.
I know that I could not have made this a reality without the help of wonderful and generous donors like you. Thank you so much for caring about the education of our youth.”
With gratitude,

Thank you so much for supporting music in our schools! My students will be so thrilled to learn that our proposal has been funded and will love using this cool technology to help aid them in their learning. I look forward to sharing with you some of the ways we use the iPods to learn music. Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated. Thank you again for supporting my work with children.
Thank you so much for this wonderful donation. These kids love to sing! I'm thrilled that I can put quality music in their hands because of YOU!! I'm already making plans for their next concert. Now I have music to use for their concert in February and May. Your generous donation means the world to these kids. Thank you again!
A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine asked if I had ever posted my teaching needs on the DonorsChoose.org website (because she had an opportunity to make a donation). When I logged on to forward my proposal information to her, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my project had been fully funded! Thank you so much for your donation, which honestly serves as validation to me as a teacher and the work I do everyday to give my students an education that opens the world to them! I am so excited to return to school in about a week and share the great news with my 5th graders. I know they will question me about the musical instruments everyday until the gift arrives!
Thank you, again”

Thank you very much for your donation. I cannot express enough how thankful I am. The students will greatly enjoy the instruments. They will also have a chance to better use their own creativity to create their own songs. I thank you again for your generosity.
What a wonderful Monday morning surprise! I was beginning to doubt that our project would be funded by anyone by the deadline. Music is so important for young children, and it seems that they always need fresh, new ways to learn. Thanks to you my students, K-5, will have a chance to learn music through one more creative vessel! I am very excited for our supplies to arrive and to get started with my students! I'm sure they will be very excited to hear that we've been funded and will have new learning tools and activities on the way. We really appreciate your support! Thank you”
Thank you for the generous donation! I am so excited to receive new music materials for my classroom. My students always enjoy our music lessons and, of course, love when I incorporate movement into our activities. These activities will be so fun and educational for them. We will be able to work on literacy, reading, body and spacial movement, following directions, and listening skills. I know my students will be very excited to use the scarves and rhythm sticks. Thank you for your support in my classroom, it really means a lot to me”
I would like to thank you for assisting me in creating a better classroom/cart-room for my students! I know they will be SO excited to explore the jingle sticks, rhythm sticks, and finger cymbals! Not to mention the table gong... I foresee many music and movement activities revolving around the table gong (as well as giggles). We shall cherish and enjoy these instruments for many years to come.
Thank you, again, for assisting me in creating a better music class. I can't wait to play with the instruments myself”
I cannot thank you enough for deciding to support my fiddle project. My students have so much to express and they love it when I fiddle to them. Every time I bring my fiddle into class and let them play with it I dream of how great it would be if they each had one. Now my dreams of unified creation are coming true thanks to you! My students will greatly benefit from the community building and positive self-esteem that this creative project will bring to them. Our school, their families, and the little guys themselves are going to be so proud of the sounds that they make when they learn to use their energy to make music instead of madness! This sustainable outlet for healing and learning would not have been possible without your very generous gift. We look forward to making you a recording of our progress!!!
Sincerely,
Ms. S and her fiddling fifth graders”
