Shark Stories- Close Ups in Class & on Campus

Help me give my students a lighting kit and microphones to make movies!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ishii Dowden's classroom raised $931

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to make movies! Weekly we feature their Shark Stories on our school news. Students make movies to share what they are learning, make PSAs and highlight all the wonderful projects and events that are happening at school. This has been a much needed boost after all the COVID disruptions and students are happier than ever to be back.

Shark Stories allows students to have voice and choice in school.

This microphone and lighting kit will ensure they are seen (and heard) as the bright stars they are.
