The last few months of the school year, I had the amazing fortune of documenting several kindergarten families on behalf of Rieke Elementary as part of the Rieke Portrait Project, a fifth grade legacy gift to the school celebrating the partnership between the fifth graders and their kindergarten buddies. In addition to these family portraits that captured the places and people who are important to the kids outside of school, the fifth graders interviewed the kinders about the first year of their Rieke experience, as well as each of the parents about their hopes for their kids.
I'm immensely grateful for the time, personal spaces and stories these families were willing to share with me, particularly at this incredible leaping off point in each of their kid's lives.
