Cameras for Yearbook Photos!

Help me give my students good cameras for quality yearbook pictures, to increase school pride.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tookes's classroom raised $1,459

This project is fully funded

My Project

Currently our yearbook club has 2 cameras that do not take quality pictures, and the results are yearbooks that are not very good. Having these 20 megapixel cameras with good lenses will make a huge difference in the quality of yearbooks that the students get.

Having desirable, quality yearbooks increases the sense of tradition and import to the school.

It will increase participation in the yearbook club during which students learn about photography, graphic design and marketing.

Being able to take good pictures will also improve morale amongst the students taking the pictures as well as those having their pictures taken and buying the yearbooks. Help us create a book that our students will enjoy for years to come.
