Celebrating achievements together with a simple, shared reward has strengthened relationships and made school a place where students feel encouraged and valued.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought smiles, motivation, and lasting memories to my students.

Your generosity has made a meaningful impact on our students, our school community, and the opportunities we can now offer.\r\nThis year, we officially launched both our Photography Club and our brand-new Videography Club.\r\n\r\nThese programs run together with different sets of students and give our scholars the chance to learn real skills in visual storytelling, creative expression, and media production. \r\n\r\nStudents have practiced taking still photos around the school, capturing action during events, and learning concepts such as leading lines, framing, and identifying the main subject in a shot. Our Videography Club has begun exploring movement, angles, and how video can be used to teach, inspire, and tell powerful stories.\r\n\r\nThe student excitement has been incredible. Parents, teachers, and administrators have shared how engaged and motivated the students have become since the clubs launched. One administrator even mentioned that she has never seen students so energized, focused, and eager to participate in a program.\r\n\r\nThese clubs have quickly become a major source of pride in our building, giving students a creative outlet and helping them build confidence in their talents.\r\nTo view one of our student-created videos, please click the link below:\r\n\r\nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/16n5BV0bPdlRSU7_0g_K-N2XN-P42a2mR/view","fullyFundedDate":1762117317921,"projectUrl":"project/through-their-eyes-a-photography-club-f/9595561/","projectTitle":"Through Their Eyes: a Photography Club for Young Storytellers","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Phillips","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10177121_orig.jpg?crop=1344,1344,x375,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756225270417","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10177121"},{"teacherId":8053933,"projectId":8330804,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support with this project!
