Names, not numbers Premiere Monday, June 21st at 10am
Dear BELL Families,
We invite you to join us for a YouTube Premiere viewing of our Names, Not Numbers video. The Names, Not Numbers program provides our students with a unique opportunity to interview actual Holocaust survivors. During this process, they acquire interviewing skills with the assistance of a professional editor, and video/editing techniques from professional filmmakers. Our students are proud of their work and welcome the opportunity to share their work with you. A special thank you to Ms. Rizzo, Mr. Klein, and Ms. Susan, for all of your support with this meaningful experiential learning project.
As a Schoolwide Enrichment School, we welcome the opportunity to engage our students in real-world learning opportunities from authentic practitioners in the field. At the same time, they are afforded an opportunity to interact with some of the most inspirational and heroic individuals- the Holocaust Survivors.
Please see the attached flyer for details on viewing the premiere video. The viewing will take place on Monday, June 21st at 10 a.m.
We hope you enjoy the film!
Thank you,
David M. Abbott
