Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

If I had to describe my students in one word, I would say they are "resilient". Despite the obstacles the majority of them face on a daily basis, they come to school ready and wanting to learn. Many of my students face challenges like: English being their second language, low socio-economic background, learning disabilities and more. My school is a Title I school which has more than 80% of its students on free or reduced lunch.

Even with all of these challenges, my students come to my class with passion and ambition.

They are in love with the arts, especially the younger ones. I have over 150 students who are taking art or photography and I want to continue to instill the love of Art in them.

My Project

The cameras we are asking for will give my students the opportunity to learn about the technical skills needed to take inspiring photographs. Many of my students depend on their phones to take pictures but I want them to learn about and understand what goes behind taking a picture.

These cameras will help them see the different components of a camera and how one can capture the beauty of things with a camera.

Through this class and with these cameras I hope to not only open up their minds but to also introduce them to a new skill which may lead to a career in the future.
