Picture Day for Free!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cappas's classroom raised $376

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

This project is special in so many ways. A lot of our students come from different countries and come here with no personal items like photos. Some of our students have never had a school picture. This project will allow our students to receive a free school photo as well as photos of their teams if they play a sport. Having these pictures means everything to their families. Last year I did an entire picture day with my iPhone which was great and families appreciated the gesture, this year we have a camera and now we just need the proper setting to make it happen.
