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 Project

Community is about growth, acceptance, and growing while learning about self and others. The journey of building a strong supportive community is priceless and should be captured. What better why to create a community relationship then having events and capturing smiles and laughs? The 360 photo booth will be used to bring people together with events where we can learn the wants and needs of our school community.

Smiles and laughs bring people together making an unbreakable community bond.

We want to be a welcoming resource for the community by providing a safe sometimes "fun" place in order to be a trusted community member. Having something to take with you after an event helps never forget what we learned and the power of community. The 360 photo will make sure community events will bring a smile long after the event is over.
