Lights, Camera, Action!

A video production company will be present at the Almond campus on Tuesday April 28.

  • No one needs to do anything special, or dress any differently, but we wanted everyone to know there will be cameras capturing a "day in the life" of some of our students.

  • If a Staff member or Student is going to be featured/interviewed, we will communicate that with them directly and in advance to get appropriate permissions.

  • Pretend like the crew is not even there and be your normal Everyday Awesome.
