And emotionally? Let's just say it's a lot warmer in this room, and not just because someone put the block heater on \"volcano\" again. Kids are sharing, laughing, and even asking for hugs after story time.\r\nSo, thank you for helping our classroom become a place where every culture is celebrated—and where emotional intelligence may someday outshine our snack time enthusiasm!","fullyFundedDate":1746794036172,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-voices-a-multicultural-liter/9073711/","projectTitle":"Empowering Voices: A Multicultural Literacy Resource Initiative","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kay","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6156161_orig.jpg?crop=1370,1370,x80,y236&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746464017195","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/misskayinprek"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_6948","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":125,"numTeachers":12,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":81,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":34.8,"schoolId":6948,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Rafting Creek Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Rafting Creek Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/sumter-school-district/rafting-creek-elementary-school/6948"}
