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.

It’s the second act and the drama club is revving up for its big finale. The curtains swish apart and the star of the show hits a high note as the auditorium full of high school students erupts into applause. Flashes of light dot the air. The cast takes a final bow and poses for the group photo. Cheese! Pause. This is when the yearbook photographer should be capturing the scene on film, right? Well, unfortunately the art teacher needed the school camera for a field trip earlier that day and couldn't return it before the big show. How will the graduating, college-bound seniors on stage ever remember the bliss of the curtain call?

In a low-income, urban high school such as ours, it's nice to have even one camera for the campus. But as the adviser and teacher of our yearbook class this year, it's heartbreaking to think of these precious memories fading away because of a gaping whole in our technology resources.

We are a new school and this year we will honor our second graduating class with our second annual yearbook! As I send out students to cover events, I regularly run into a bottleneck of teachers, students, and yearbook staff members all reaching for the camera simultaneously. Fortunately, I see a light at the end of this tunnel! With an extra camera dedicated solely to use in our yearbook class, my photographers could avoid this traffic jam entirely.

We are also short of other yearbook supplies. By helping us with these items you’ll inspire squirmy sophomores to turn into sophisticated seniors ready for college as they interview sources, edit stories, design mock-ups of our pages, and back up our work on the computers. Your support will help my budding high school photojournalists and reporters grow from the responsibility of taking care of technology, meeting deadlines, and ultimately compiling a book of priceless memories of a successful year. The icing on the cake is that funding a project like this will help my students prepare for life after high school in college, where they will put to good use the writing, time management, and leadership skills they learned while on the yearbook staff. Your contribution will carry over from our high school newsroom into the college classroom and beyond!
