Whether they're pretending to cook in a play kitchen, taking turns playing \"puppies,\" or simply enjoying a quiet moment inside, your gift has opened the door to meaningful learning through play.\r\n\r\nYour kindness and belief in the importance of early childhood experiences have left a lasting impact on our classroom and the other two TK classes. Your donation has not only brought joy to our little Rancho Raccoons but also enriched their learning experiences. We are truly grateful for your enduring support.","fullyFundedDate":1741636689949,"projectUrl":"project/charming-cottage-playhouse-for-tk-cuties/9127380/","projectTitle":"Charming Cottage Playhouse for TK Cuties","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Avila Forde","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2985609_orig.jpg?crop=1102,1102,x1733,y967&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1720477954202","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-avilaforde"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3868","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":574,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":21,"percentAsian":16,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":41,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":86.4,"schoolId":3868,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rancho Las Positas Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rancho Las Positas Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/livermore-valley-joint-unified-school-district/rancho-las-positas-elementary-school/3868"}
