While I've been teaching for 5 years, this is my first year here at Montebello. A bit of backstory; before I came here, the students have never put on a musical before. One parent even told me that she wished for her children to be involved in an active Performing Arts program. And for that very reason alone, I was determined to give them one. Because of your donations you have helped my students get costumes, make up, sewing kits, backdrops, stage lights, and props. With a modest budget I wasn't sure how this show would look for them. But even if our version of Shrek The Musical Jr. is not a Broadway level production, it will still be a production the students can be proud of. They are looking forward to you receiving their thank you letters. And I pray a special prayer of blessings over you for blessing us, and for having a willing and giving heart.","fullyFundedDate":1767147912211,"projectUrl":"project/shrek-the-musical-jr/9833098/","projectTitle":"Shrek The Musical Jr.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10313838_orig.jpg?crop=337,337,x149,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1765550071116","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10313838"},{"teacherId":2802225,"projectId":9939735,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generosity.

The color filters and narrow windows allow them to focus on one line at a time, reducing visual stress and improving accuracy.
