Dear reader,

Thank you for checking out our project Community Through Our Eyes. We are in an unprecedented time in our history due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The concept of "community" is transforming as we spend most of our time online or physically distanced from others. Students at The Alexander Dawson School in Las Vegas have been exploring what community means to them in this current moment. Along the way, students have gained knowledge around what makes a community, communicating through stories and visuals, perspective, and belonging. Their letters are in response to this question: What does community mean to me? Here is what they want you to know.

We hope you enjoy!
