TV P&C: December Information

1) All filming for the winter sports previews and the Winter Concert must be completed on Monday December 3 so we can edit and put the final piece together. FYI- There are scrimmages this weekend. Waiting until the last minute and poor planning is not a problem of mine.

3) In addition, all students are required to film a minimum of 4 outside events in the 2nd marking period. There are plenty to choose from, especially with the holidays upon us! Don't wait until the last minute. There are basketball games, bowling & wrestling matches, holiday events, and more!

4) MidTerm- I will announce the midterm before Christmas break so you can get a jump on it. The midterm is due on January 21, 2013. Please note that this is now a 1 session day and we will not have off for MLK Day.

Please see me with any questions.
