Have A Digital Story Idea?
every student has a story
Beginning January 2020, we will begin a new video series titled 'Every Student Has a Story.' This series will highlight an elementary and a secondary student every month, who has a unique, success story.
The success story should be about a student overcoming a difficult time in his/her life and how they persevered. We want students to be inspired by the stories they hear and also give them the courage to overcome any obstacles they may be facing in their personal lives. At the end of each story, we want the students to realize 'if they can do it, so can I!'
If a student from your campus is selected, Elyse Rountree will notify the principal and will set up a time and date for Brishen Thompson and Elyse Rountree to interview the student. Once Elyse has notified the campus principal, please have someone on your campus confirm with the student's parent they are okay with proceeding with the interview.
We want every campus to nominate a student by completing the 'Every Student Has a Story' Google Form: https://forms.gle/CjmCqFAsDf5qdhPT8
