My Students

My journalism and yearbook students are scattered through grades 11 and 12. They live in rural Missouri where recent economic woes have negatively affected their home lives and our school funding. Despite this fact, they are dedicated to their work and dream of careers in a wide range of fields.

My Project

Purchasing a new journalism camera will help my students capture their schoolmates' most memorable moments. These moments will be placed in the yearbook for students to look back on in years to come. Students will also practice writing and editing with the pictures they take with a new camera. Students will learn what it is like to be an editor and practice real-life skills. A new camera would make a world of difference for our yearbook, items submitted to the local newspaper, and for the class itself.

Thank you in advance!
