Virtual Talent Show
For those students that have returned their permission slips, please record your performance using one of the below-listed apps:MP4, MOV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, AVCHD, DV & HDV
Most of these apps are found on current mobile devices. Once you have your act recorded, you will want to upload it to either of the following:
- Google Drive
- DropBox
- WeTransfer
Once your video has been uploaded to either of the above, you will email that link to Gavin Blackstock at gavinblackstock@gmail.com. Please make sure to put "McNeil Canyon Talent Show Video Submission" in the email subject line. Gavin is our volunteer parent that will be putting all the video submissions together into one video where we will then upload it to our school website on Friday, March 26th for everyone to enjoy! Video submissions are due to Gavin by Monday, March 22nd.
Class Basket Facebook Auction
In place of our normal silent auction and pie auction, our classes will be putting together baskets of goodies as a schoolwide competition to see which class basket receives the highest online bid. The class with the highest bid on their basket will receive an ice cream party. We will be individually posting each class basket on our school Facebook page on Friday, March 26th for people to place their bids. Bidding is open until 10:00 am on Thursday, April 1st where the winner for each basket will be determined by the highest bid. Classes are asking parents for donations to fit their basket theme. All items are due Monday, March 22nd. See each class basket theme below:
