Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 120

The young students of Palm Terrace Elementary were so excited to use the Polaroid Cameras! The Say Cheese! project was a huge hit! Every student was engaged and eager to participate in the picture making process. None of the youngsters had ever used a Polaroid Camera before. They relished in the opportunity to be real photographers and wore the cameras around their necks with pride. It was an experience they will never forget! Thank you to the donors for sponsoring this special project. Your generosity help build the confidence and self-esteem of many deserving students.
