My Project

We are building our media space on campus and we are asking for some supplies.

With our mobile content stand, lights and portable back drops will get us off to a great start.

We will be able to have our first media day with our clubs and sports teams, school news and create a space for us to produce talking heads.

With this grant, we will be able to produce some amazing content for our entire school and build our media space from the ground up! Let’s create some action with our Lights & Action grant!
