This year we started a student club for our school yearbook. The vision is to give creative power to the students, especially our 5th graders, who will each receive a yearbook at graduation. Allowing this project to be student-led gives students real-world experience in project management, photography, and technology use. It will also help them practice responsibility and teamwork. Our hope is that students will feel empowered to take ownership of school storytelling and guarantee the final outcome reflects their voice.
Our biggest struggles with yearbook in the past has been collecting pictures and designing pages. While many teachers take pictures of their students at events throughout the year, not many of them remember to send or upload them to our Teams. Unfortunately, even the pictures that are submitted are often unusable due to poor quality while uploading. To remedy this, we are asking for two iPads that can be used by the 5th grade students to collect pictures of all grade levels. We specifically requested iPads so that on club days, students can use the airdrop feature to collect pictures from teachers, as well as take pictures at club events.

Project Description

This project includes 2 iPads and protective cases to support students in the creation of the yearbook. 10 yearbooks so we are able to give each student in the club a copy of their hard work. As well as funds for consumables we will need in yearbook club, like: materials to create yearbook ad posters, incentives for club members going above and beyond.  

 

Expected Outcomes

If this project were to be funded, my students would be able to further their excitement for yearbook club by truly getting involved and collaborating together. In years past, due to the lack of resources, the yearbook creation becomes a mostly adult-led activity. By giving the students technology and incentives, we hope to make this a team-building, leadership promoting activity for our 5th graders. We will measure these outcomes by giving yearbook students the opportunity to participate in our Collier County Sheriff's Office LEAD program and observe them hopefully using their newly discovered and honed leadership skills.
