Online Exhibition: Girls' Own Stories
Girls’ Own Stories is an original HCP program that focuses on boosting self-esteem and academic achievement for girls ages eight through thirteen. This spring, HCP held three sessions of Girls’ Own Stories at Highland Heights Elementary School, Spring Woods Middle School and Spring Oak Middle School. In addition to learning photography and discussing topics such as self-esteem, the students also saw the work from the HCP exhibition, Her Feet Planted Firmly on the Ground. During the program, students created self-portraits, collage art and other photo-based projects all as an expression of girlhood. This online exhibition is a culmination of all their hard work over the past semester.
