You are invited to....... the House B Photography Project Breakfast


We would like to invite you to a celebration of our students’ photography. As part of our study of how place shapes who we are, students completed a photography project in which they took a picture of their favorite or most meaningful place in the community. To accompany the photo, students wrote a statement that explained why the place is meaningful, how it has shaped who they are, and how they interact with the land. They also explained the specific photographic techniques used to make the photograph express exactly what they wanted. Please join us for an informal breakfast where you will be able to see the students’ work.

When: Monday, May 16th, 7:30am-8:15am

Where: Ms. Taggart and Mr. Roof’s classrooms, # 212 and 213.

A light breakfast of baked goods, juices, coffee and tea will be provided.
