Because we had a deadline for our yearbook, we were not able to use the cameras and lights when the order was received, but we will definitely get a head start on our yearbook planning and photography when school resumes in the fall of 2025! I am most excited about this because we can move away from cellphone pictures to provide a more clean and professional look of our Yearbook Club. I also think that my students will get a kick out of using the cameras because it is such an \"old\" concept to them (HA!). I truly appreciate your support as this was my very first project that was fully funded right in the nick of time. If you are an educator, your support means the world to me because I know what serving students feels like. If you are not an educator, please continue to support education. Teaching really is more than just standing in front of a class full of students and giving textbook instruction. Teachers vow to impact students in ways that go beyond the four walls of the classroom. Our desire is to inspire them in life and it can start with the simple click of a camera.
