Virtual Candle Ceremony
2020
As many of you know, our annual Candle Ceremony is a special event when our 8th grade students pass on the "Light of Leadership" to our 7th graders. We our planning to create a Virtual Candle Ceremony video with a little help from our parents. Members of our faculty & staff will be making a safe porch delivery of a candle and/or a flower to each of your homes. We are asking that you film a short (approx. 3 second) video of your student either passing a candle and receiving a flower or vice versa depending on their grade. These short clips will be used to create the Virtual Candle Ceremony. Please see below for further instructions and an example.
All videos must be received by the end of the day on Saturday, May 23rd. Please e-mail your videos to lheidorn@stjohnsdrschool.org. If for some reason you are unable to film your video by this date, please let us know.
Does your 8th grader need a candle?
Please respond to this letter if you NEED a candle. You can also e-mail Laura Heidorn @lheidorn@stjohnsdrschool.org
8th Grade Instructions For Video
When this clip is placed before a clip with a seventh grader passing the flower and receiving the candle, it will give the impression that the two students were exchanging items.
Students must wear their school uniform in the video.
7th Grade Instructions for video
When this clip is placed after a clip with an eighth grader passing the candle and receiving the flower, it will give the impression that the two students were exchanging items.
Students must wear their school uniform in the video.
Video Example
The first clip is how an 8th grader should be filmed and the second clip is how a 7th grader should be filmed. Please remember that only the hands and arms of the "other" person passing the candle/flower should show in your video.
