My Project

This camera is for my yearbook staff of 15 students, but it will benefit the entire school each year. This camera will give students the opportunity to take pictures for the first time for our school yearbook!

A camera will help the students work together as a team to achieve their goal of producing a yearbook that the entire school can enjoy and give them experience in photography, goal setting, budgeting, sales, and creativity.

The school will also be able to utilize this camera to capture memorable moments to share with families on our class newsletter and on Class Dojo.
