5th Graders Going Pro!

My students need a GoPro camera and Tripod to film IB and end of year projects, and make their end of year highlight reel!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Purvis's classroom raised $518

My Students

My students are 5th graders with a passion for learning. Unfortunately, they have the odds stacked against them. My kids are growing up in abject poverty in an extremely violent neighborhood.

Our school and my students are incredibly resource deficient.

100% of the students at my school receive free or reduced-priced lunch. Most of them are performing significantly below grade level. They are statistically some of the absolute "lowest" performing students in the state of Florida. They have to deal with hardship after hardship inside and outside of school and yet, they are some of the most resilient and passionate kids you will ever meet.

These kids have a particularly special place in my heart because I've taught them before. I am determined to make our time together more meaningful than ever and I refuse to let our lack of access to resources or historically low academic achievement hold us back. We can make huge strides this year, but I'm going to need the help of a village!

My Project

My students desire a GoPro camera to help record all of our special events and all of our learning taking place in 5th grade! They want to be able to video record themselves and activities we're doing such as special projects and field trips!

I want my students to be able to film independently!

This is a perfect device for them to do just that-- because it has a strong case, easy features (including playback) and is lightweight. I am also asking for a tripod so that they can set up the camera so that it doesn't always have to be held!
