HawkTV in Hershey!

The student video team of Zahra Husain, Suchi Jain, Casey Jennings and Tom Padula traveled to Hershey for the Pennsylvania Educational Technology Expo and Conference (PETE&C) on Monday. They spent the day filming, taking photos, conducting interviews and then produced a 4-minute video about the conference called "Who Did You Meet at PETE&C 2013?" The video was shown to the several hundred conference participants at the final day luncheon. Check out the HawkTV web page to see the video and some photos from the day's events! All in all, the kids represented themselves and our school very, very well. Congratulate them when you see them, they should be very proud of themselves!
