Capturing and Creating Memories

My Students

My students are the definition of resilience and Houston Strong. Due to Hurricane Harvey many of my students lost everything they had in a matter of hours. Even though my students may have lost everything during Hurricane Harvey, Harvey was not able to take away their willingness to learn and achieve academic success in the classroom.

The majority of my students are At-Risk and, Economically Disadvantaged youth yet these labels do not stop my students from chasing and achieving their goals.

Many of my students come from single parent homes and will be the first in their family to receive high school diploma. The students within my classroom can be productive and successful citizens of the United States with a little help and guidance.

My students are smart, intuitive, and very eager to learn in a variety of ways. Our middle school is composed of students with a thirst for learning and eagerness to become productive citizens.

My Project

Providing pictures and video to families and the community allows for families to see their children even if they are unable to attend events. It also provides opportunities for our program's special trips, evening events, exposure to nature, etc. to be seen and acknowledged by our community at large, thus creating opportunities for community service, volunteering, and future funding for special events.

Having a classroom camera that takes beautiful pictures of my wonderful students will make a great difference in our classroom.

Parents will go home with keepsakes at the end of the year and I will be able to reference the growth and hard work of my students all year long.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
