Capture the Moment

My students need 3 new digital cameras and rechargeable batteries.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

High school is when many of our teens are shaped for the rest of their lives, and for that reason they deserve to have these formative years chronicled to reflect on later. I teach yearbook to high school students in a racially diverse community with a high poverty rate. Many of these students do not own computers or cameras, but they are expected to use them in school to create a yearbook for their class. Yearbook students are driven to share their school spirit with their classmates, and they want to impress staff and students alike.

Our students are starting the year with eight cameras, two of which actually work. This is problematic because each member of our staff is required to take photos and write copy. The students are motivated, but the supplies are not available for them to capture the moments that make up a student's life.

We need to replenish our camera supply. We would like to add a few cameras at a time until we have one camera for each student on staff. If we can get better pictures in the yearbook, the students will be more excited about submitting the yearbook for competition. Our yearbook account is currently in the negative. If we have the right supplies, we can produce a better book, which will increase sales. Once sales increase, we can begin to use our own profits to keep our supplies replenished.

Your help will ensure that my students will use their skills in photography and writing to make a great yearbook. You will make it possible for students to use their imaginations when taking photos because they won't have to worry about the camera not working. Thank you so much for your support.
