After teaching in public schools for eight years, my hard drive has been filled up a few times over with pictures of my students. From talent shows to honor roll ceremonies, football games to fourth period, one thing permeates all of the photos I've taken of my kids: pure, uninhibited joy. My scholars find such joy, even in and despite the hard stuff , and they can't help but show it. Enjoy the photos below of some of the hardest working (and most joyful) kids in New Orleans.
