Last weekend, I documented a back-to-school event held in my neighborhood at Irma C. Ruiz Elementary. The event was organized by New Life Pilsen church and supported by the alderman of the 25th ward. Chicago Public Schools had provided free backpacks and school supply kits for K-12 students. A variety of booths were set up in the school lot and entertainment was provided by various community groups as families waited in line to register and receive their school supplies. You may recall from my previous post that Mayor Emanuel made a surprise visit. These are a few of my favorite photographs from the event.
