SBA Week

I'm so very proud of how well you've done so far on the SBA Exams this week! I know it's been stressful, and a real brain drain, but your commitment to success will pay off!

For the brief time we're meeting this week, we'll focus on prepping films for submission to the Digital Desert Film Fest (see link at right), completing Grandparents' Day and Student Elections projects, and retesting those who scored below an 80 on the Vocab.

On Friday we'll chill out and watch your Green Screen projects.

Next week.....DRAMA!!!!

Cool Potential Project

See me if interested....

The Youth Creating Change Film Festival is our way of engaging young people in advocating for child homelessness, as well as providing young people interested in media arts an outlet for their work to be seen.

Open call for Middle-school and high-school aged youth to produce Public Service Announcements and short films to educate and motivate the community to act on child homelessness. The films will be shown on June 25, 2011 at the South Broadway Cultural Center. A panel of judges will award prizes based on factual content, creativity, production value, and an effective call to action.

These films will be used by a Home for Every Child advocacy program to educate and motivate communities to end child homelessness throughout New Mexico.
