Celebrating 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
The students in my journalism class show a great deal of initiative and truly want to find ways to aid our society. Many have faced a multitude of obstacles in their lives but remain resolute in graduating, going to college, and truly living the American dream.
My students see journalism as an avenue to a better society and expose that which harms our collective human spirit.
We are a largely immigrant school, and many of my students arrived from nations where the concept of an independent press was/is foreign.
My students are passionate about reporting the news and writing editorials that can motivate and advocate for change. They are angered by the attack on the field of journalism and the false use of the term "fake news" when it is attached to reputable news agencies.
My Project
Photojournalism is a branch of photography that uses photos or images to tell a story. These photos come out in newspapers and magazines, as well as in non-traditional visual media like websites or blogs.
The camera that I am requesting will be used to enhance our award-winning school newspaper, The Source.
I want to show the students the power of photographs, and how they can enhance an article. Students are naturally drawn to taking photographs and this camera will hopefully take this natural love and help them become more well-rounded journalists.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
