My Project

At our school we have an amazing group of students that produce 3 broadcasts a week! It's their job to bring all of the news, important dates and interviews of students and staff to our 1100 students. They do ALL of the work - write scripts, film, edit, anchor and produce our school news.

We "Frankenstein" tripods together from broken ones, the students use cameras that are several years old and can only charge if they are laid on their sides at just the right angle.

I would love to provide them some new equipment to make their jobs a little bit easier.

My broadcast students love their school and love that they get to be a part of the broadcast staff. We would love your support in providing 3 new cameras, tripods and MicroSD cards to our LMAAC broadcast staff!
