Over the past few years, we have utilized a district-owned video camera, but now we have our high-quality device, ready to go at a moments notice. In fact, the specifications of this camera are much more high definition and advanced than the district-owned device that we used in the past. Our next upcoming concert is in December, and I am especially eager to utilize this new tool to highlight the successes of my students. Thank you again! We are humbled by your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1752586580439,"projectUrl":"project/a-camera-to-help-share-our-concerts/9412715/","projectTitle":"A Camera to Help Share Our Concerts","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Hamalainen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1795060_orig.png?crop=374,374,x43,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1633130820536","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/james-hamalainen"},{"teacherId":1795060,"projectId":9412699,"letterContent":"We have only had the wireless guitar transmitters for a couple weeks now, but already they are a huge hit with the teacher and students alike! In choir rehearsal, I am able to plug in my acoustic, move freely among the students, and help students as needed. During our concert band rehearsals, our resident guitar expert student Ethan has been LOVING the wireless mobility. The simple design, clear audio fidelity, and ultra low latency is an amazing addition to our ensemble rehearsals. This is an example of a donation that makes an enormous and immediate impact on our daily routines.

The compost bin was just put in place and will give us a handy local spot to be able to compost items from the garden and classroom as well. We've worked hard to keep our garden growing and these items are so appreciated and will help us achieve our goals for this year!
