AMES is an Early College High School. Our classes are taught at an
honors level, and we also offers AP classes and University of Utah
classes.
+Pic or video of the school hallway
+We may record the video of robotics, student council, or other
clubs how its going on and interview teachers
+interview seniors, How many colleges did you apply?, or ask
about AP Tests?
Our school does a lot to try to make sure every student is able to
prepare for college, from informing us of scholarships to having
college application days where counselors and teachers help
students apply for college, while also paying for application fees.
AMES as done so much for us.(Maybe include a short
personal story) So me and my friends decided as our senior project
we want to help our school help other students be prepared and to
be able to take as many opportunities that they can to help with
their education, because lately AMES have not been able to help
their students the same way they did in the past few years. For
example AMES used to be able to pay up to 3 college application
fees, however this year AMES was only able to pay for 1 college
application fee, the reason behind this is the lack of extra money in
the school budget.
Students who are taking AP classes usually take AP tests. They are
around $90-$100 each and many students cannot afford these
prices.
So for our senior project we would like to do a type of
fundraiser to try to raise enough money to pay for 1 AP test for
every student in the school. The AMES student body as about 500
students all together, and if possible to be able to pay for more then
1 college application fee.
At the end:

Please help our student by giving them the opportunities to take AP

tests and to be able to apply to multiple college without having to
worry about paying the fees. You can help support them to build
their dreams.
