Students chose project problems based on their own interests, formed groups, determined what they needed to know about the problem, researched, and then did something about the problem (raising awareness or advocating for change). It was a joy to see students step into the driver seats of their own education. \r\n\r\nThanks to you, each student has their own notebook and folder, and we were able to get up an organizational system in the class for daily work and project work. Thank you for funding the essentials. This was especially important as we have many students who come to our school during the school year, often without any school supplies. Your donation allowed us to set up a more inclusive learning space for all kids.","fullyFundedDate":1536249515566,"projectUrl":"project/heritage-literacy-and-writing-portfolio/3567067/","projectTitle":"Heritage Literacy and Writing Portfolios","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vasquez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2416072_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507439951949","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/senoravasquez"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35875","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1785,"numTeachers":76,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":16,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":47,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.2,"schoolId":35875,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Juanita High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Juanita High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/lake-washington-school-district-414/juanita-high-school/35875"}
