Picture This: Inspiring Young Photographers and Providing Essentials
Help me give my students snacks, a digital SLR camera to give them the opportunity to explore their creativity through photography; a photography backdrop; and supplies to help them learn new skills.
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
I teach at one of the few remaining magnet schools in the city that offers a media arts program, making this a rare and valuable opportunity for my students. Many of the students at my Title I school come from low-income housing and have disabilities (SWD), but they are incredibly passionate about storytelling and media production. My students embrace their cultural identities and work hard to build an inclusive, vibrant community.
The resources I am requesting—such as a digital SLR camera, photography backdrop, and snacks—will empower my students to shoot photographs, create short films, conduct interviews, and produce podcasts.
These tools will unlock my students' creativity, boost confidence, and provide vital skills that can open doors to future opportunities. Your support will transform their learning experience and help nurture the next generation of media creators and leaders.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
