Dr. Tom Holt Family Dentistry, a dedicated member of the community, brought back the I AM... photo shoot and exhibit! I AM... is an exciting opportunity to talk about diversity in a new and meaningful way and is a platform for students and teachers at The Lighthouse School, Sunset Middle Schoool, and Marshfield High School to celebrate their identity. The campaign creates conversations around what diversity means, who defines it, and what we can do to broaden the acceptance among family, friends, and in the community.
Dr. Holt Family Dentistry transformed the Coos Art Museum into the powerful I AM... Exhibit and almost 700 participants, their family, friends and the community celebrated what I AM... Coos Bay and North Bend means!
