My Project

Yearbooks were delivered this week and we are already preparing and planning for next year! We did inventory in our class and realized that a new camera available would be so beneficial when we have multiple sports going on each day and we need pictures from both.

We meet with our Picture Company who has volunteered to help teach the incoming freshmen how to take pictures and perform required maintenance on a camera.

They work with NIKON cameras and have requested that we have a NIKON camera to work side by side with our students. This would be such a dream if only we could afford a new camera for the students. Thank you for considering our project and possibly donating to help raise the money for this to come true.
