PS 16 and Eltingville Lutheran School is Staten Island are collaboarting on a project to highlight the diversity of Staten Island. PS 16 is located on the North Shore of Staten Island with a school population of about 700 students. ELS is located on the South Shore of Staten Island is has a population of about 80 students. Both schools are diverse in their community, population, size, and many other aspects that make us all unique! Staten Island is often a borough that not many people know or understand so as a team of school we decided to join forces and explore our own communitues, teach each other about their divserity, learn interviewing skills, take trips, utilize technology and ultimatly compile a documentary. We are hoping this documentary will show how one island can hold so many various cultures, unique sites and breaking down barriers in our communities. We hope to enter our documentary into the International Children's Film Festival in 2015.
Please stay tuned to our developing work as we continue to post photos, videos as our project unfolds!
