Photojournalism students give back through Giving Gallery
The Mansfield Education Foundation awards innovative teaching grants to
teachers in MISD. When a teacher wins they have a prize patrol that
comes to the teacher's classroom with a big check for the amount of the
grant and balloons. The grant patrol consists of school board members,
the superintendent, members of the foundation and the media. It's all
very exciting for the teachers and students. One of the recipients, a
photojournalism teacher from Summit High School, decided to reverse the
process and presented a check from her grant: The Giving Gallery. Her
students hosted a gallery show and sold their photos in a silent
auction. The teacher and photo students thought it would be appropriate
to donate the proceeds to the Foundation. Read on... |

a business teacher, who passed away in early December 2008 after a
