Our school is entered in a video contest sponsored by Loyola Press, the company that publishes our religion books. The winning school will receive textbooks or credit with Loyola Press to buy teaching materials. An 8th grade and 7th grade student saw the contest online, and asked if our school could participate. Classroom teachers asked the question: “Where Do You Find God?” and discussed the answers with their students. The “student producers” collected, sorted, and organized the responses so that there would be no “repeat” answers. Students also filmed parts of the video. The winning video is based on votes, and you can vote up to once per day until June 1st. Click here to vote!
