To better capture the culture of the neighborhood I decided to do my project during the yearly Easter celebration held at Escuela Vieau. This allowed me to get a better feel for the area as both students and their parents came. After gathering photos of the school and students I selected a few to show how the program benefits the students and the community. It is obvious that the students love their school, their teachers, and all that they provide for them. Many parents took their children to the event and helped support the school with raffle tickets. These events help the school and the Boys and Girls club program along with keeping parents and children active within their community. Students and teachers are very close and everyone seems very comfortable with each other. Parents where polite and socialized with staff and other parents while their children enjoyed the multiple activities provided for them. The parents no doubt like the extra programs the school has to offer as plenty of students are involved. Both parents and their children are very respectful to anyone who is helping the school. The camera allowed me to very successfully capture people interacting naturally. It also allowed me to put emphasis on some of the differences I’ve noticed in my time at Escuela Vieau. The walls are often decorated with the work of the students and there is a blend of both English and Spanish all throughout the halls; things that I don’t recall when I was in elementary school. While I believe I have not spent enough time there to really learn anything extraordinary, I have found that the school is run much differently than mine was. I find it to be a much closer and more involved learning environment which benefits every student.
