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 Students

My students come from all backgrounds, represent all ethnic groups and religions, all types of families, and all types of education levels. When they walk through the door, they know that they will be welcomed, challenged, and encouraged.

We strive to keep students engaged with every type of in-school activity, after-school club, and sports team imaginable.

This dedication is met with enthusiasm and participation. It shows students that teachers also have a wide variety of interests and that learning is not limited to the classroom.

My Project

My students have great stories to tell the world. And it is through sharing these stories that they appreciate the differences in each other and the commonalities that bring us together. The lights and monopods in this project will make sure that our shots are smooth and stable and that our subjects look great when they are on screen.

In class we learn how to share our stories through video and how to make sure that everyone's story is heard through high quality video production.

Great stories deserve to have a great delivery to their audience.

These equipment is essential to taking our stories to the next level.
