My Project
Our middle school students have a story to tell, and we want to give them the tools to capture it! Through the “Focus on the Future” fundraising project, we aim to purchase a digital camera to empower our students to document their school experiences, from vibrant in-school events to exciting sports games. By equipping students with a camera, we not only nurture their creativity and photography skills but also provide them with the opportunity to capture meaningful moments that reflect the heart of our school community. This project will encourage students to take pride in their school, their peers, and their unique perspectives.
The photos taken by our students will be featured on our school’s Instagram page, giving them a platform to showcase their work and share their vision with a wider audience.
From the cheers of a basketball game to the smiles at a school assembly, these images will highlight the vibrant life of our school while fostering student involvement and digital literacy. With your support, we can make this project a reality and inspire our students to see the world through a new lens—literally and figuratively!
