Elevate Our Yearbook Club With a Sony a7R v Camera

Help me give my students the professional-grade equipment they need to capture high-quality images and create a memorable yearbook

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ellis Stephens Leadership Class's classroom raised $4,818

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our yearbook club is a dedicated group of students passionate about capturing the essence of our school community. These young photographers are eager to learn, grow, and create memories that will last a lifetime. They bring unique perspectives and talents, ensuring that every event, celebration, and milestone is documented beautifully and inclusively. With the right tools, our students can elevate their work, gaining invaluable skills in the process.

Help me give my students a Sony a7R V camera to enhance our yearbook club's equipment, as we recently upgraded to a Sony a6400 and, with just two more high-quality cameras, we can ensure that each member has the opportunity to use professional-grade tools, with the Sony a7R V offering exceptional image quality, advanced autofocus, and versatile features, making it perfect for capturing the vibrant life of our school.

This camera will enable us to produce professional-grade photographs for our yearbook and other school projects, ensuring every student and event is captured in the best possible light. With the a7R V, our students can explore their creativity and develop their skills in photography and videography, preparing them for future opportunities.

Your donation will help me give my students a Sony a7R V camera to capture high-quality images and create a memorable yearbook. The skills they develop through using the Sony a7R V will serve them well beyond high school, opening doors to careers in visual arts and media.
