My Project

Our yearbook staff is a dedicated group of student journalists and photographers who work tirelessly to capture the heart of our school. From the excitement of Friday night football games to the quiet moments in the classroom, they strive to tell the story of our school year through powerful images. These students are passionate about photography, but they often face challenges when trying to capture crisp, high-quality action shots—especially at sporting events and large assemblies.

We are requesting a telephoto lens to help our student photographers capture crisp, high-quality images from a distance.

Right now, our cameras struggle to zoom in on key moments without losing detail or clarity. This lens will allow us to take professional-level photos at sporting events, assemblies, and performances, ensuring that every moment is documented beautifully.

A yearbook is more than just a book—it’s a keepsake of memories that students will cherish for years. By donating to our project, you’ll help us elevate our photography, improve the quality of our publication, and ensure that every student’s story is told with clarity and creativity.

Your support will make a direct impact on our students' learning and allow them to produce a yearbook that truly reflects the energy, excitement, and achievements of our school community.

Thank you for helping us bring the action closer!
