My Students
"Finally, a YEARBOOK!"
The fifth grade at our Elementary School rejoiced when they found out that they would be the very first graduating class to have a yearbook!
The fifth graders will participate in a program called SEM (Schoolwide Enrichment Model) this year for the first time.
They will participate in clusters, which are clubs. I am co-head of the yearbook cluster. My co-teacher and I are so excited to work with our group to create a beautiful yearbook.
My Project
Our students will use the cameras to photograph their fellow classmates throughout their senior year. We will then use the photos in the yearbook. I have also included SD cards so that we can capture many moments. Throughout the year, the students will try out new clusters, so these cameras will be used by a number of students. I have a photography background, so I will coach the students about framing and lighting.
These cameras are essential to our yearbook project.
Without them, the kids won't be able to capture the moments they want to remember for the rest of their lives. Your generosity will enable our 5th graders to complete the very first yearbook in our school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
