Students at Crawford High School in City Heights recently spent time using photography to explore how their school influences their social, physical and mental health. They identified key health influencers and then created photo essays on issues such as having more nature on campus, the benefits of diversity and the importance of coaches for youth development. These essays are in addition to previously posted essays on school lunches, graffiti on campus, after-school tutoring programs and the effects of large class sizes.
