My Students

The students at my school are amazing. I know you probably hear this a lot, but seriously, my students are phenomenal. They attend a K-12 public school for gifted and talents students in the middle of a major city!

Our students are creative, innovative, and full of life, but this is only part of what makes them so phenomenal.

They are eager to learn not only their subjects in school but they also want to know more about the world around them.

My Project

By donating to this project you will be helping to make a huge impact within our school. Our photography club has decided to take on a project that will highlight all of our community members. Students will us the camera to photograph not only students and teachers but all of our community members. The laminator will allow us to take the photos we take of our community members and preserve them so that they can be proudly displayed on our walls.

This project is about more than simply taking pictures and that is what makes it so magic.

Each photo has the same prompt at the bottom. This allows our school community to learn how the person being photographed believes they are perceived, how they want to be perceived, and who they really are.
