My Project
I love how creative my students are! I also love how curious they are about the world around them. That’s why they are going to explore their community and capture what they find important and fascinating to them, culminate their findings into a class book and present their creativity to the school!
Leaving a legacy for next year’s seniors!
These cameras will be the eyes of our students as they capture Harlem and write about their pictures. This will be published in a keepsake book and donated to the school for others to enjoy and be inspired by.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
