Partners With Target for Sponsorship of
Immigrant Culture Through the Eye of a Lens

Community High School District 94 today announced a partnership with Target for sponsorship of its Immigrant Culture Through the Eye of a Lens. This project is a joint venture between the Welcome Center and the Art and Photography Department at the high school.
Images will be chosen for a formal exhibit at the high school and then displayed at the West Chicago City Museum.

"Students will learn about the art of photography," states Miguel Arroyo, who is Welcome Center Director, Project Coordinator and a professional photographer. "They will learn about photography as a career and be able to use photography to tell the story of their lives and their cultures. This project will instill pride in their diverse cultural experiences. In addition, they will enhance their writing and language skills by writing about the significance of their photos. The students will also gain mastery of the technology that is involved in digital cameras and the editing of software."

This sponsorship is part of the ongoing support Target provides to local communities throughout the country. Every week Target gives more than $2 million to strengthen families and communities across the nation, with a focus on education, the arts, social services and other vital community partnerships.

"At Target, we are making a real difference every day through our sponsorship program.' Said Laysha Ward, Vice President, Community Relations, Target. "We're proud to partner with Community High School District 94 as part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team members live and work."

Additionally, Target also gives back through signature programs that are designed to inspire learning in children and families. Programs include:

• Take Charge of Education®, a school fundraising program;
• Ready. Sit. Read!, a program dedicated to fostering a life-long love of reading in children;
• Start Something®, a partnership between Target and the Tiger Woods Foundation, which helps kids build core values;
