C
ool School TV is getting ready to roll...
Our first meeting will be this
Friday, October 14th at 12:35 in the Media Lab. We'll be setting up time lapse cameras to capture the Parish Fair. We'll compress two-and-a-half days into five minutes!
As a member of the Team your commitment is to attend production planning and learning sessions
on Fridays from
12:35 to 1:15, and be available to operate cameras and direct during livestream events (see below).
Any interested student who can not make the Friday meetings please drop
Mr. Bersin's Office. We'll work out a schedule and make some plans.
Picking up where we left off last year, Dr. Friel has asked Cool School TV to produce a number of events this year including special assemblies, SLE Thursdays, Student Masses, the Halloween Parade, Mustang Players, Grandparent's Day, Catholic Schools Week, the Christmas Plays, sports and more.
We'll be focusing on real-world producing, production planning, and camera skills.
There will be opportunities to write, direct, host, operate the camera and more. The key is team work, discovering talents and sharing skills.
If you're a 5th, 6th 7th, or 8th grader and would like to be a part of Cool School TV's production team, Join us!!!
Tune in to Cool School TV.

Permanent Impressions offer a fingerprint safety program to all AMS students and their siblings. In the event of an emergency, time is the single, and most crucial, element. Gathering essential information for law enforcement personnel is time consuming and can be difficult to accomplish during a stressful situation.
This private organization is comprised of off-duty police officers, fingerprint experts, and former law enforcement personnel.
For more information see the form in your Wednesday envelope for specifics.
