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 Project

Being at a campus with a low socio-economic population many students do not get the opportunity use good cameras for photography. By obtaining the camera students will be able to take pictures of the different campus events and share them with the community through social media as well as the school's annual yearbook.

A good digital camera will allow students to take high quality pictures that will in turn be put in a yearbook that will help students cherish the memories for a lifetime.

Photography is also another way students can express themselves artistically. It will also allow us to showcase the great activities that take place on campus. From fine art performances to athletic events under stadium lights.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
