Heilicher 5 Wraps Season 2 of Video Magazine
Last month the middle school Heilicher 5 team completed the final episode of Season 2 of its video magazine. Amichai D., Shimshy K., Avital K., Sky L., Hannah L., and Leah S. worked on screen and behind the scenes — writing, starring, and editing — to create content for the whole school. They covered topics from 3D printing demos and sports news to serious reflections on mental health and antisemitism.
