Some teams placed well and some didn’t but everyone did a great job!” All of the 7th grade teams created items relating to a website they created called www.wscovolunteer.weebly.com which has created a place listing places to volunteer in Washington County. “Even though not all the 7th graders presented, they all had a part in this presentation as the worked on this project on and off all year in their art class,” said Toole. Students created a webpage, promotional items, recorded a presentation on the benefits of volunteering, and created a video promoting being a hero by volunteering as a part of this project. The high school website team created a site called www.craniocutie2.weebly.com for a client promoting craniosynostosis awareness. The interactive media team presented the yearbook theme, its promotional plan and book layout and page design. The graphic design team presented all of the promotional materials they made for the fall play at WCHS. Each presentation could be no more than 7 minutes long and had to include original graphics created by the students.
"Wow! What amazing kids we have at Washington county... every single group presented so well... i couldn't have been more pleased with them. As with all judged events you never know what's going to please or catch a judge's eye.... some teams placed great and others not at all ... but all teams gave it their best effort and should hold their heads high. Excellent work and all earned first place medals in my book." - Mrs. Toole |
