The cleanliness and organization have created a space that is more conducive to focus, productivity, and positive interaction.\r\n\r\nOverall, the donation has had a deeply positive effect on everyone involved. Students are thriving with the new materials, and the teaching staff is both encouraged and grateful for the support. This generous contribution has truly made a difference, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for helping us create a more effective, engaging, and supportive learning space.","fullyFundedDate":1744039776158,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-special-education-students/9219806/","projectTitle":"Empowering Special Education Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fillarca","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9565556_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1722283282065","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9565556"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33446","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":501,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":36,"percentWhite":32,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":26,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":45.9,"schoolId":33446,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kegotank Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kegotank Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/accomack-county-school-district/kegotank-elementary-school/33446"}
