My Project

Our new student leadership class helps students to use their voices. Students are able to create content about the stories that matter the most to them. We can focus on positive projects and events to share the news of our school. Students will not only create the stories, but other students will become more informed through the creations of their peers.

Now, more than ever, students need to know that their thoughts, opinions, and observations are not only valid, but highly respected.

With your help, we can have a gimbal stabilizer, which makes recordings much easier for students. The stabilizer allows students to record videos with multiple camera angles and in a smooth manner. Students can also get creative with special effects like playback speed and motion detection.
