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

Students love visiting the school library for great backgrounds of bookshelves, technology, and tables filled with their peers reading, studying, and socializing.

To encourage even more creativity and collaboration within the library space, this project will allow us to offer photography students a green screen and light box, to isolate human subjects as well as objects such as books.

Administrators, teachers, and students will be inspired by displays and promotion of these photography-based projects (along with a "made in the library" logo) and will begin to think of the library as a place where anything is possible!
