Camera Clubhouse

For the past 2 years a group of AC photo students have volunteered to teach photography to the kids at San Jacinto Elementary School. This outreach effort is a part of Amarillo College's decision to adopt the entire school as a part of the "No Excuses University" program that Principal Curry put into place. The kids are in the 4th and 5th grade, and through the generous support of Pam Lary Photography, we were able to provide the children with cameras that they could take off campus and document their daily lives. It is such a pleasure to be a part of this program, AC students and SJ students have bonded with each other, and everyone is learning about photography and life.
Today the kiddos are taking a field trip to Amarillo College to visit the photo lab and edit images for their exhibition in Southern Light Gallery. I'm so excited!
The kids have their own website where you can see their images and follow our progress. We hope to do this program again next. year.
