Brehm Receives the Gift of Photography



Recently, Brehm received a generous donation of camera equipment from a current parent. The donation included five Nikon cameras, various lenses, 35mm lenses, filters, protective covers, memory cards, manuals, books, tripods, a flash and cases for each set of cameras and will be used in PACT (Photographic Arts and Computer Technology) classes.


"This donation not only added an opportunity for my PACT classes, but added to many different aspects of program," said PACT teach, Chrissy Strusz.


Digital photography has always been an element to PACT since the class started, however, true and professional digital photography and photographic elements have not been a part of the curriculum, until now.


This new technology opens up a new door and creates new possibilities to enhance the educational experience of our students.


"I can now integrate the elements of photography, and teach students about shutter speed, aperture, depth of field and the true manual possibilities of a professional camera," said Strusz.


Brehm students have always excelled in the area of creativity and we look forward to seeing the amazing outcome the students will produce with these cameras.


This donation not only effects the PACT class, but will also be beneficial to many other elements of program like the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics team, athletics, plays, and the yearbook.


"It is a very generous donation," said Strusz. "My students and I anxiously waited and watched the window for the Fed Ex truck. We wanted to see those beautiful, packed boxes as they came off the truck."


We would like to thank donors for their continued support of Brehm's mission. In-kind gifts are put to good use and always appreciated.
