Speaking Through a Lens!

Help me give my students with equal access to valuable educational resources. One of the tools we need to make this happen is a high-quality camera and a lens with some rechargable batteries.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pua Watson's classroom raised $933

This project is fully funded

My Project

A camera would allow students to engage in creative projects, develop technical skills, and document important events and activities. Many of our students come from under-resourced backgrounds and do not have access to this kind of equipment at home. By having a camera available at school, we can ensure that every student, regardless of their financial situation, has the opportunity to explore their interests in photography, videography, and digital storytelling.

Your generous donation would have a lasting impact on our students' education, helping them build confidence, express their creativity, and develop skills for future success.

If you would be willing to donate a camera or contribute towards the purchase of one, it would make a world of difference to our school community.
