“Using Lake Street USA for my students as a guide for a photography project with my students was the most unforgettable of my teaching career. The stories the kids told and the critiques they made truly displayed a higher level of thinking and interest that they had not shown to many of their other teachers in other classes. It opened their mind’s eye and they began to view the world differently, seeing the ‘perfect shots’ of every day life.” – Middle School Teacher
