My Students

My students are hardworking, inner-city kids who deserve every opportunity in this competitive world. Our high school is very diverse, and everyone has made tremendous progress within their high school careers. I have been teaching for several years and have a child of my own. I want only the best for my child, as well as for my students. In turn, I am assisting my students to gain the necessary equipment to capture their school, its diversity and culture. My students would love to be able to cherish these memories for years to come!

My Project

Many would say a picture is worth a thousand words! Photographic equipment is essential in providing students the necessary tools to explore their creativity in the visual arts as well as a component in capturing school wide events such as assemblies, yearbook, sporting events, town halls, debates, and graduation.

By donating to this project, you will be greatly assisting our school family in capturing a life of happiness, dedication, and achievement!

As the school year is gaining momentum, we would love to capture these precious moments to begin working on our yearbook for 2018-2019 graduating class!
