The students have loved seeing the different genres, styles and diverse cultures of writing. They say their favorites are the novels in verse which was a big shock to me. I am so incredibly thankful for your support of my students and their learning! My freshmen especially have really taken to the new books.","fullyFundedDate":1746786293754,"projectUrl":"project/diverse-voices-and-snacks/9323707/","projectTitle":"Diverse Voices and Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7892676_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756207191283","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7892676"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_51041","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":414,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":44,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":91,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"11.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":51041,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vinton - Shellsburg High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vinton - Shellsburg High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/iowa/vinton-shellsburg-cmty-sd/vinton-shellsburg-high-school/51041"}
