Camera Donations Requested
Dear Parents,
This year we have involved the SMA students in the creation of the yearbook, and many of them were very enthusiastic to participate as photographers. We had one or two usable cameras which they shared, but the quality of the photos were at times a little grainy or were difficult to take pictures with.
As the yearbook sponsor, we are reaching out to any parents who may have put away a digital camera never to be used again. If you'd like to give that camera new life, please consider donating it to SMA for the yearbook staff to use in the years to come! It would be easiest if it came with a USB cable that connects the camera to a computer USB port. Also, simple to use cameras would be most desirable. If you have a camera you would like to donate, please contact our Yearbook sponsor Mrs. Floyd @ celene.floyd@stmichaelcp.org
We thank you in advance for any donations that you would consider.
