Most of them do not even have money to purchase crayons for their homes, so to be able to use so many different types of art materials has been a huge treat for them. \r\n\r\nUnfortunately, several of the items that were needed to make a portfolio for them were sold out, but we are working on just exploring different types of mediums and how we can use that to express ourselves. Its a healthy way for my students to be able to share feelings in a healthy way.","fullyFundedDate":1748971777761,"projectUrl":"project/self-expression-and-growing-for-next-yea/9295734/","projectTitle":"Self Expression and Growing for Next Year","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sarah","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9924149"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79724","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":187,"numTeachers":7,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":43,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":42,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"26.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.7,"schoolId":79724,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about East Lake Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"East Lake Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/konocti-unified-school-district/east-lake-elementary-school/79724"}
