Faculty Member Publishes Book of Photography and Poetry
May 5, 2008
by Lorri Giovinco-Harte (Published in the May 2008 issue of the Harry S Truman Faculty Newsletter)
Raphael Lopez is a teacher of Foreign Language and Photography at Truman High School who has recently published a book of photographs and poetry entitled My Mother’s Hands. The book is described in the following manner:
Motherhood, a universal concept that transcends time and place, is revealed and revered in this book. “My Mother’s Hands” is a photographic celebration that honors and highlights the lives of mothers with a perfect combination of imagery and poetry. It is a collection of sepia toned photographs of women’s hands interacting with other people, and familiar objects of daily life. This book is a superb collection of images and poetry that validates, recognizes and appreciates mothers around the world.
The book is a culmination of several years of work by Raphael and has received great praise thus far.

Dear Staff Members:
There are many wonderful things that have been going on for the past 2 to 3 weeks. Some of the highlights are:
1) Ms. LaBua and her students went on their field trip to Washington, D.C. last weekend. The trip was a great success. It is not easy for a first year teacher to take on such an event, but with support of the Truman staff and Ms. LaBua’s dedication to our students, the trip was a memorable one for them.
