Celebrating 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 Students
My students attend an urban high school where 94% of students qualify for the federal lunch program. Many are first-generation Americans where English is not spoken in the home.
Our school motto is, "A block long and a worldwide." This speaks to the diversity of the student body and the idea that what they are learning has implications for our society as a whole and the world beyond.
Times are tough in urban education, and every penny donated will be put to good use.
This project seeks to fund a project for my Yearbook staff, who love to put their ideas into action.
My Project
As yearbook advisor to our large, urban school I often encounter difficulties capturing photos as sporting events. It is not easy to capture action shots without the proper equipment. We have been faking action shots for the yearbook.
I would like to elevate our photography game by being able to actually take pictures while the athletes are in action.
The Canon Telephoto lens will enable student yearbook photographers to document school games as we never have before. It also opens up another skill set for students to acquire - live action photography.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
