Graves' room is decked out with lights and streams of ribbons in an effort she says to promote a fun learning environment for her students. "The main part of this is missing. The reason why we come is not here. It is sad. With the children gone, this means nothing. This adds, but the heart isn't here. Hopefully we'll be able to finish the school year with warm bodies in the classroom." (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) (Julio Cortez, Copyright 2020 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

The portrait session can be used in any way the teacher chooses.

“We believe the teachers in all of the San Antonio school districts have done a phenomenal job to cope with the uncertainty and stress the end of this school year has brought, and we want to offer a gift of appreciation,” Gaude said.
