These cameras have created an immediate buzz and have truly energized our Bulldogs. Having access to professional cameras at school has opened their eyes to how technology can be used creatively and with purpose—to capture moments, tell stories, and showcase the spirit of our school.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our Bulldogs the most is the opportunity to learn an entirely new skill. They are gaining hands-on experience with photography by learning how to frame shots, adjust settings, and capture meaningful images during real school events. The cameras have given our yearbook staff ownership of their work and pride in knowing they are developing a skill that goes far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nBulldogs who were once quiet or hesitant have truly stepped into leadership roles through this experience. They are more confident, eager to participate, and excited to collaborate with their peers. Your generosity has helped our Bulldogs build valuable technical, creative, and teamwork skills while creating memories that will last for years. Thank you for investing in our Bulldogs and making such a powerful impact on their learning! We cannot wait to see the memories they capture!","fullyFundedDate":1755724794836,"projectUrl":"project/capturing-our-story-cameras-for-yearboo/9581541/","projectTitle":"Capturing Our Story: Cameras for Yearbook and Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. McAninch","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7805604"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12955","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":197,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":76,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"10.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":77.3,"schoolId":12955,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hamilton Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hamilton Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/hamilton-independent-school-district/hamilton-junior-high-school/12955"}
