Knights, Camera, Action!

Funded Oct 17, 2016

On behalf of the Yearbook class at Stephen M. White Middle School, I extend my sincerest gratitude for your donation to our "Knights. Camera, Action!" project! So many unforeseen things happen every year, and a great staff has to be prepared to find them, cover them, and find the perfect place in the book for them. By having this extra DSLR camera, the yearbook staff is working diligently to provide the most coverage of the various events thus far. Having this DSLR camera has not only increased learning and knowledge of how to use a traditional camera, but the desire to be an active participant in capturing various events happening in the school.

Students have been excited to learn about digital photography using a true DSLR camera (not their mobile device). The camera has increased their desire to learn and use aperture, lighting, white balance, and speed featured in the camera's different settings. One of the best results from receiving the camera was that several students who were at first hesitant to try taking pictures with the camera have paired with other students and have wanted to assist in covering some of the school events. Their enthusiasm and confidence are growing with practice, and we have your donation to thank! By donating to our project, you have helped to improve and increase student attention and focus, as well as our students' academic achievement, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Badar
