HUSH: Support student creative and collaborative endeavors
Partner with us to support this creative, motivated, collaborative student team!
#HUSHpodcast, affectionately known as HUSH, is a sci-fi series written, performed and produced by students in grades six through twelve. It takes an eclectic team of creatives to produce the show which is first broadcast on the radio program Voices in the Valley before being uploaded onto iTunes, Google Play Music and Stitcher.
In the last year, the HUSH team completed EIGHT (22 minute) episodes of season 1. Thanks to a grant from the St. Croix Valley Foundation, the finale will be a live radio play performed at the Phipps Center for the Arts the evening of Thursday, July 27. Most exciting, students will work with Native American representatives to create a parallel universe for the characters to explore based on Ojibwe culture. This universe will be incorporated into the finale and become a critical element of the Season 2 storyline. It will be a complete storytelling experience, and we want you to join us in this artistic and cultural adventure!
With much gratitude, we recognize your support - would you join us at the $250, $500 or $1000 level?
We love to recognize our partners, and our gratitude extends to the welcoming remarks at the live performance, recognition on the show when it airs on KLBB, and permanent acknowledgment into perpetuity on finale's podcast uploaded onto iTunes, Google Play Music and Stitcher. We'd also love to give you free tickets to the live performance so you can experience how amazing the students are. Logos on promotional material and digital flyers also assure that we can say thank you in many different ways for your support.
The HUSH creative process develops student's conflict resolution, collaboration and leadership skills
