Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

Our school is constantly looking for ways to increase parental and community involvement. Our Title I committee recently met and planned some amazing events this school year for community members, friends, and families of our students.

What better way to capture these moments than by using a polaroid camera?

The Polaroid Instant Film Camera and Polaroid Color Film made available in this project will allow us to give back to the community by capturing memories at each of our events. We can then instantly share the photos with those involved. How exciting would that be? Sometimes we get so caught up with social media that the pictures never make it off our devices.

Our first event is Grands Cafe and I feel like our visitors will love taking a memento with them as they depart for the day.
