Aww Snap! We Need Props! Part 2

My students need various hats, glasses, masks and other props such as a patriotic sequin cowboy hat and tiara for a photo booth!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Diamond's classroom raised $215

This project is fully funded

My Students

"There are no bad pictures; that's just how your face looks sometimes." -Abraham Lincoln

To put it simply, my students are extraordinary.

They come from all over the city to attend one of the best high schools in the state. I teach digital media classes such as graphic design and digital photography to nearly 160 hardworking, truly inspirational students. Their creativity amazes me everyday.

My Project

The materials that I am requesting are various props to go in a photo booth. The students will be able to use the fun hats, masks, patriotic accessories, funny glasses, and speech bubbles to create lasting memories with their friends! The photo booth would be used as a fundraising tool to generate money for new computers and cameras. This project will also give my photography students insight into studio photography. They would be learning everything from studio set-up (arranging the lights) to taking the photos to printing photos for clients!

By donating to this project, you will be giving a gift that keeps on giving!

We would use the props to continually fundraise for many years to come! The possibilities are endless!
