GIVE Provides Family Portraits in the Eastern District
Janie
Day, Eastern Local Schools |
Thanks
to a Learn and Serve Grant and Kroger’s of Mt. Orab, the
Eastern High School Advanced Photography class was able to take
pictures of families for Christmas. Each family that participated
received a free 5x7 portrait compliments of Kroger’s in
Mt. Orab. For many families in our area a trip to a professional
photographer is costly and time-consuming. The students felt
that through this service project they could use their skills
to give families a family portrait. The students practiced posing
and taking pictures of classmates to prepare for this service
project. Pictures were taken at the high school by Mrs. Staggs’
Advanced Photography students, and approximately 50 families
participated and received family portraits. The students would
like to thank Mr. Orab Kroger’s for printing and donating
all the 5x7 pictures for the families and Mr. Sawyers for the
use of his backdrops.
The Eastern
District has completed several service learning projects this
semester and we will continue working on a variety of projects
the remainder of the year. The projects are supported by a
Learn and Serve Grant through the Ohio Department of Education.
The service learning allows students to take what they learn
in the classroom and bring it to life in the community.
