R4's Library project!

Our Junior High and High School after school program is partnering with the South Natomas Library to do a very special project. Our students are creating a project that will be put into the Sacramento Room at the Central Library downtown. The project will be highlighting the history of the Gardenland area and interviewing their family and neighbors. The students are also going to tell their story, their experiences in the project! The students are going to be learning how to interview someone effectively, how to record, put music in the video, and take pictures. Several people are helping with the project that will be teaching them their new skills. The students are very excited about the project and will be working on it until the end of the school year. The South Natomas Library has purchased equipment specifically for this project. The GreenHouse students are the first group of youth to use the equipment and the first to do this project in Sacramento!

Here is a picture of our first visit to the Sacramento Room. This room has the history of Sacramento. The room had old maps and pictures that dated back in the 1800's! They also had all the high school yearbooks since the 1930's The students enjoyed looking up their parents yearbook picture.
