Smile for the Camera!

Help me give my students these Canon camera bundles so that we can have everything we need to continue to make a high quality yearbook with crisp photos that really capture the action but are still user friendly.

My Project

When I took over the journalism program at our school, I started with 7 students. Seven turned to 17, then 28, and this year we have 45! Next year there are almost 65 students enrolled in the 3 different journalism programs we offer!

But with growth, comes needs!

With the increase of students in these programs, we need to get more cameras so that many students have access to take great photos which makes a better yearbook, journalism, and photojournalism program.

It is important to me that no student be turned away from these classes because we don't have enough technology.
