My Students

We live in a community where there's the perceived "best of the best" schools and the perceived "worst of the worst" students. To outsiders, they may judge our students as the latter,but they're wrong! Students are simply the best and their beautiful resilient stories of life are testaments to that. Each step they take across that stage at graduation is a step well deserved as it marks each chapter of their high school careers. They don't give up even if life takes them down many paths.

My students have a way about them that displays their resilience in tough times, perseverance when the "good life" seems to skip over them, and the pride that shines so brightly that you'd never know they were facing such great odds.

They are unique in every single way, students that break the cookie cut mold of the model student. My student are the most creative and personable characters in our community that desire to tell their stories of fiction and non-fiction. It is a beautiful scene to witness their creativity come to life!

My Project

Amazing creative minds sit before me day in and out hoping to produce amazing videos. In order to produce these creative projects, the need for diverse props and backdrops are a must!

As my students create scenarios with different sceneries, they need to have a variety of backdrops and props to choose from.

Having a selection allows students to create scenes that offer the audience a more engaging experience. With the shared use of materials it is highly important to keep all materials sanitized and ready for next student producer.
