Does anyone on here use Donors Choose to get needed supplies for your classroom??

I have used it for years but mostly end up paying for more projects myself. If you use Donors Choose, how do you market your project? I am afraid my friends and family may be cringing when I bring up a new idea for school.

I am a music teacher so my supplies are not cheap!!

No, I haven't. I have heard about it. Some teachers got them. I still pay everything from out of pocket.
