Your support made an incredible impact on our chess club and the students we serve.\r\nBecause of your gift, our students now have extra chess boards, chess timers, and electronic chess boards that have truly transformed our program. With these resources, we were able to expand our chess club to include more students, giving many children the opportunity to discover and grow their love for the game.\r\nWe were also able to host chess parties where students proudly shared their skills, strategies, and excitement for chess with friends and family members. These events helped build confidence, community, and a sense of belonging among our students.\r\nThe electronic chess boards have been especially meaningful, allowing students to learn and practice independently without needing assistance from family members at home. In addition, the extra chess boards are now used in classrooms so students can practice when they finish their work, encouraging productive and engaging use of their time.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and supporting learning through chess. Your generosity has inspired curiosity, teamwork, and joy, and it will continue to benefit our school community for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1764552726040,"projectUrl":"project/chess-loving-community/9859937/","projectTitle":"Chess Loving Community","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Davanzo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10333221"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14630","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":693,"numTeachers":50,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":5,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":86,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":14630,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Otis Brown Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Otis Brown Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/irving-independent-school-district/otis-brown-elementary-school/14630"}
