Upper School Film Fest: Watch Them Now!
Upper school students had another successful film fest during the last few days before the
holiday break. Students worked together in teams to plan, storyboard, script, film, and edit their
short films. Upper school teachers observed students problem solving, compromising, working
in teams, and communicating. On December 20th, 3rd through 11th grade gathered in the
music room to view the films. Afterward, students and teachers awarded trophies to the films
they voted best among Middle and High School. The films are shared on the
Upper School blog in a YouTube playlist
