Some photographs of the poster creation process.
National Honor Society OHS members including our SHH officers went through the voting process and chose the top 5 entries that were submitted to the AATSP Director Poster Contest in Valdosta, GA.
The first photograph is the work done by Olivia Thibodeaux 11th grade she expressed herself in the following way: “Trees are a sign of life, death, union and love. As a woman in the world of many cultures, the roots must be treasured to allow May the future flourish, that’s why I chose the tree.”
La segunda foto es el trabajo realizado por Khaterine Larios, ella es originaria de Honduras y asiste en 9th grado ella escribió “me inspire en mi país y la cultura indígena que nos precede, incluí también mi querida bandera hondureña, que significa mi orgullo y me da una buena energía, pinté con cariño y trate de reflejar lo maravilloso que es la naturaleza”.
The second photo is the work done by Khaterine Larios, she is originally from Honduras and attends 9th grade she wrote “I was inspired by my country and the indigenous culture that precedes us, I also included my beloved Honduran flag, which means my pride and it gives a good energy, I painted with love and tried to reflect how wonderful nature is”.
I decided to make this painting because hispanic and Portuguese culture is an important thing to learn and represent. I decided to go with an Eagle because it is an important part of history: going all the way back to the Aztecs. The Eagle also represents warriors, which is why I added the countries inside of the Eagle. It represents strength and bravery, which all of these countries have. It was an honor learning about Hispanic and Portuguese culture. The hourglass represents how even though time is changing, their culture is not.
La cuarta foto superior a la derecha es el trabajo realizado por Nia Kennerson de 12th grado nos explica “Pinté este dibujo porque muestra cómo todos podemos construir y crecer juntos. El árbol se relaciona con el crecimiento, a medida que un árbol crece desde el suelo, florece hasta convertirse en un árbol grande y saludable, a medida que crecemos juntos nos convertimos en un todo. Cuanto más trabajemos juntos, más brillante será nuestro futuro”.
The fourth photo from the top right is the work done by 12th grade Nia Kennerson explains
“I painted this draw because it shows how all contruis can grow together. The tree correlates to growth, as a tree grows from the ground on up it blossoms into a big healthy tree, as we grow together we become a whole.The more we work together the brighter our future will be”.

” Quería dibujar algo que refleja la herencia latinoamericana. Dibujé banderas para representar a los países latinoamericanos.

Mis inspiraciones principalmente vinieron de mi deseo de ilustrar que un pequeño cambio puede ser para los estadounidenses y latinoamericanos”.
