My Project

We are a public high school and have very little funds for the arts. In Photography 1 & 2 many students do not have their own cameras or equipment. At school we try to provide as many as we can so that all students can have access to materials needed to be successful.

Tripods are where we are lacking now and need more sturdy tripods that will not break so easily.

Please help me to provide our students with tripods that will last years and are sturdy enough to hold the cameras. The types of photos that they are able to get with tripods is a different professional level all should be able to experience.

Ms. Finley
Grades 9-12
  • J.F. Kennedy High School
  • Cedar Rapids, IA
    • More than half of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 250 students.
