The interest levels and participation were what kept the younger students interested and excited. I like the opportunity to learn more and have people come talk to us about it. Then each student was given a small disposable camera and sent out to photograph his or her world. The club members viewed the photos they took, critiqued them, then decided which photos focused on the theme. The RVCC students reinforced what the children learned while providing tips for future picture taking.
Kids are really intelligent and sincere.
The Hillside students plan to cut and edit, frame, and display their photos for a gallery showing around Christmas time. The pictures will be sold, and all proceeds will go to Jessica Melore, a Somerville High School student who suffered a heart attack two months ago. Through hard work and determination, Gail was able to provide the newspaper club with cameras and film, courtesy of Nikon and Kodak. She offered her expertise in photography along with the RVCC students. The RVCC students are spreading their knowledge to others by doing something they love.
