My Project

I am so excited for my students and our school! Next year, we will be starting a journalism program. With a new class, school newspaper, and competitions, this Nikon camera will be beneficial to records all the awesome events of the school year.

Our student journalists are eager to capture the stories that matter—school events, big wins, and inspiring student voices—but they need the right tools to bring their reporting to life!

With your support, we can equip our journalism class with this high-quality camera that will:

-Capture News & Events – Students will document school activities, sports, and important moments with stunning images.

-Enhance Interviews & Reports – Video interviews and news segments will make stories more engaging and impactful.

-Bring Our School Newspaper to Life – High-quality visuals will improve our print and digital publications.

-Teach Real-World Media Skills – Hands-on experience with photography, videography, and editing will prepare students for future careers in journalism, media, and storytelling.

Your donation will empower our students to become the next generation of reporters, photojournalists, and digital storytellers. Help us put their creativity in focus—because every great story deserves a great shot!

Thank you for supporting our future journalists!
