Different is Good Wins Best of Show

04/27/2013

Friday, April 26th was the second annual TEAM SCREEN TEST. Our 5th grade Fugleflick, Different is Good, screened at this event along with student videos from the Chicagoland suburbs. Take a look at the photos and the animoto video to see what the event was like for our young filmmakers.
Trivia: Dryden student filmmakers were the youngest at the festival. All the other students were middle schoolers.

Different is Good tied for best of show at the festival. Our filmmakers will join the other winning team from Quest Academy for a movie and pizza night at the Prairie Center for the Arts in the near future.
Trivia: Dryden Filmmakers won Best of Show in 2012 also.
See the post from last year.

Different is Good embraces diversity and uses art as a metaphor for celebrating our differences. View the Fugleflick below or at this link.

Congratulations to Klaudia (4th grade) for winning the program cover design contest. (See all entries) Her artwork (shown to the left) will represent Dryden on the cover of the program handed out the night of the Cultural Arts Festival on Friday, March 8th at Thomas Middle School beginning at 6pm (free admission).
Dryden will also show two banners full of student art (certificates will be sent home with the selected student artists on Feb.22nd. See the banners below show the art chosen for display). That night will also be the big screen debut of the new Fugleflick, Different is Good
and a chance to see our all school Common Core Crazy video which debuted at the District Variety Show once again.

P. S. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the cultural arts festival event on March 8th. Mrs. Beihoffer has volunteered to stand in my place. Thank you! I will be at the National Art Education Conference in Texas to accept my award for Western Region Elementary Art Teacher of the Year. This is the first year I'm missing the event, so please stop by and pose for your photo with Mrs. Beihoffer so I can have some great pictures of what I missed and celebrate with you:)
