Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I love to see the funny and wonderful emotions displayed by my students when they choose to act out their feelings and capturing those emotions are the pinnacle of my day. The smiles and giggles lead me to know that these wonderful young people are learning to understand how their feelings reflect their overall relationship with each other.

A photo printer, backdrop stand and lighting kit will help us to extend our work and activities to other students in our school, in so doing creating a sociable and friendly environment for our young people to coexist and learn.

This project is so passionate to my students and they look forward to the times that we have studio days, they want to show their work to friends and families and would be super happy when their are able to print their pictures without restrictions.
