Mrs. Giesey Bridgeview Elementary School
S. Charleston, WV Grades 3-5

Our school is in a poverty stricken section of the city. These 23 fourth graders are eager to attend school in order to escape the realities they face on a daily basis. Our diverse class of 23 eager 4th grade students is often deprived of everyday privileges due to their low socio-economic status. This project would give them all a sense of importance and positive memories on which to build a constructive future. Using the camera, memory card, and software, students and teachers can document memorable events and occasions throughout the school year. Creating a slide show at the end of the year and saving them to CDR's will allow the students to have a copy for the future. By helping fund this project you are encouraging today's young people to do great things while in school. Your donation of any amount is appreciated to put a smile on the faces of these students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
