Comments
This is our first year of having students create a yearbook. Currently, we share 1 cameras and are trying to learn all of the necessary skills. We REALLY need help to get cameras into the students hands. Students need to have a camera in their hands to be able to practice taking photos and learn the necessary photgraphy skills
