My Project

In our school we have many special events during the day. We have a Student of the Month Ceremony, Read Across America Week, the Week of the Young Child, Black History Door competions, student inventors and much more. As well as, Community Forums, where children present and perform. Children love to share these memories with family and friends.

Our school community loves to share these wonderful memories through our webpages and Class Dojo.

However, they do not always translate well from cellphones to PC. With this digital camera and case, we will be able to share these beautiful memories for family to cherish and our community to see all the wonderful experiences our children are able to create and participate in.
