My Project

Our school will be starting a Photography Club for the 2025-2026 school year. We're reaching out to our amazing community to ask for your support!

We’re currently raising funds to purchase essential camera equipment—including cameras, lenses, memory cards, and editing tools—that will allow students to participate fully, regardless of their financial situation.

The photos that students take throughout the year will be used in our school yearbook. This means that your contribution not only helps our club, but our whole school community!

How You Can Help: Every contribution goes directly toward equipment that will help students build artistic skills, document school events, and express themselves creatively.

If you’re able to support us, or know someone who might be interested in helping, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for helping us focus on the future—one photo at a time!
