Turning Student's Achievements into Videos and Memories for a Lifetime

I need this apple computer to make videos for my classes of all the amazing things they are doing in school and our community.

My Project

We have started making videos and clips for our community. Our school only supports Acer computers and does not have the budget to get an apple to make videos,. Our school does many activities in the community and most recently did a school wide cleaning day where classes went out into the community and raked lawns, cleaned businesses, and cleaned all the parks. I make videos with my iPhone but it would greatly help to have an Macbook. We have a new shop facility with 12 different majors from welding to architecture to small engines that we would like to showcase. We have FFA, Skills USA, 4H, Choir, Band and our athletics with some amazing and inspiring videos of great things they are doing. We recently went bowling and the kids were awesome with our special needs students with the owners commenting on how respectful and amazing they were. I chose this computer because it was reasonable and recommended for videos and editing to create lasting memories for my students that also inspire others around the world.
