Senior Portraits That Last

Help me give my students get quality portraits for their yearbook. Yearbooks should not be a luxury, it should be a right for every student.

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 Students

Our students are all recently arrived immigrants from over 40 different countries, speaking more than 20 different home languages! Many of them are eligible for free lunch and over 30% come to us with gaps of 2 or more years in their formal schooling, due to economic or social challenges in their home countries.

Once in the United States, many students continue to work after school until late hours in order to support their families both here and back home.

These children continue each and every arduous day with the single hope they've clung onto for years- that one day they'll be able to live the American dream.

Despite all challenges, I hope to bring our students to an intellectual and emotional space in which they can be free to challenge themselves (and each other!). We become empowered learning about our differences and recognizing how we all are actually united in those very differences we possess.

My Project

Our school serves over 80% of students who receive free lunch. Therefore we have not been able to afford a photographer to take our students' photos. With our school's limited resources, one of our senior teachers takes the photos using a classroom whiteboard to take the senior portraits. Sometimes when we have a cloudy day, we often have to delay the process or settle for a bad photo because we don't have proper lighting.

Do you remember how expensive it was to pay for your senior dues and prepare for college?

A quality yearbook should be a right for every child, not a luxury permitted for a select few. Please help ensure that every student is able to get a quality photo for their yearbook.
