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
This year, I am a senior class co-advisor, and part of my role includes planning the prom. Prom traditionally holds significant importance for high school students. Today's teenagers often rely on their cell phones to capture these types of memories, but last year's photo booth rental created an opportunity for them to put their devices down and capture the moments another way. Every single scholar was able to take home the memories from prom in the form of photo printouts from the booth rental.
As a tradition, we create a bulletin board featuring photos of staff members at their own high school proms to hype the scholars up for prom.
The photo booth rental will all scholars to take home unlimited printouts where they will be able to look back at them years from now just like the staff does each year. The photo booth rental also comes with a digital photo album and that will allow us to create a slideshow to display on the TV in our hallway to document the memorable experience.
