This will help students explore photography in ways that were previously unavailable! It allows them to engage with the world around them through a creative lens, using both technical skills and artistic expression. With the camera, students are not just learning how to take photos—they are learning composition, lighting, and digital editing, some crucial skills in today's digital world!\r\nThe most exciting aspect for our students is the hands-on experience they now have. \r\n\r\nMany have already shown a keen interest in photography, and the new camera has reignited their passion for the subject. It has been particularly inspiring for students who may have felt disengaged and limited by traditional learning methods. The camera allows them to tell their stories visually, which builds confidence and encourages them to think critically. This is opening up new opportunities for our students to learn, create, and explore their artistic potential in ways that will benefit them!\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our students and giving them the tools they need to succeed in photography and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1734712130937,"projectUrl":"project/the-art-of-capturing-lifes-moments-with/8797608/","projectTitle":"The Art of Capturing Life's Moments with Camera Photography 3","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ruedas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9756351_orig.jpg?crop=2291,2291,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726666719241","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9756351"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_130410","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2339,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":45,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":25.0,"schoolId":130410,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Palisades High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Palisades High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/charlotte-mecklenburg-school-district/palisades-high-school/130410"}
