My students need a digital camera to complete art projects and to photo document their trip experiences.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. L. Brown's classroom raised $527
This project is fully funded
I teach approximately 185 sixth to eighth grade students everyday. My students traveled from all over the city to attend school, some students ride the school bus for more than a hour just to get to school on time. My students are disadvantaged, inner city, middle school children who receive federally funded breakfast and lunch. Also, I teach a number of learning support and autistic students who are mainstreamed into my art classes. My school is a special place. We have students from various cultures, ethnic backgrounds, learning abilities, and neighborhoods who come together to learn and socialize, despite their socio-economic status. The concept of respect, learning, and brotherly love is alive at my school.
On a recent field trip when we were studying early America and its architecture, we lacked the necessary equipment (a camera) to document the experience and complete a follow up lesson when we returned to school.
A digital camera will allow my students the opportunity to document their experience on field trips, to share their learning with other classes, to create art projects and to learn about photography.
By supporting this project, my students will have a real opportunity to learn history, create wonderful projects, and express themselves. Funding this project will improve the quality of arts education at my school, close the digital gap, and help the students for years to come.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
