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

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my Donors Choose page. This is a passion project for me. As a teacher and person, I have become very interested in how photography can tell stories and create community and a feeling of connection. I have recently discovered the power of photography in school.

Students love a good image of themselves on the field, court, or even just in the lunch room.

I have sort of taken it upon myself to provide high-quality images to the students individually and to the school yearbook. I have also been taking pictures of the school's sports teams and the coaches are loving it. We also provide senior photos for graduating seniors. With these two professional lenses and light, I can provide the highest quality images for students and schools. Thank you so much for considering a gift to the well-deserved students in my beloved school.
