Each week students who have good behavior in class submit their name for a drawing.
Friday winners are announced and cameras are passed out with rules.
Monday through Thursday they take photos. When in computer lab they choose copyright free music, and record an introduction for their slideshow.
Friday slideshows are shown in the cafeteria during lunch.

The Yearbook club will use these pictures for the year end yearbook. The yearbook club meets bi-monthly to go through the photos, edit them, choose good ones for the yearbook. They do page design using Adobe InDesign.
Comments
Would love to have at least 2 cameras for each grade. I would love to buy Adobe InDesign software for yearbook layout. Would love ink and paper to print the best photos each month for a display. There is also a school wide art show
