I teach Language Arts and yearbook in a small (200 students), rural, low-income, public high school.

After raising the $10,000+ each year to pay for the publication of our yearbook, we have no money for the supplies and updated technology needed to keep up with the industry.

A new digital camera means students will be able to improve the quality of an already award-winning yearbook. As one of the few organizations in the school, the yearbook staff prides itself on the recognition it earns with each year's completed issue. Yearbook staff members graduate with knowledge in marketing, page design, photography, teamwork, and finance, areas not recognized in most high school curricula.

Your donation will make it possible for this yearbook class/staff to raise the bar yet again and reach for a higher quality book than those found at schools with publication budgets twice our size. The photos of a yearbook are what make it stand out and you can be a part of making the photos amazing.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
