Shorecrest students in competition
Shorecrest Video Students, advised by Trent Mitchell, have entered a national $5,000 school spirit video competition. Students, parents, and community members can help by viewing the video at www.maxpreps.com/FanPages/SignUps/2007SpiritChallenge.mxp and then voting for Shorecrest, which will require a short registration on maxpreps.com. The spirit video with the most votes will take home $5,000.
Senior Robben Van Winkle spent over 20 hours editing footage from assemblies, sporting events, homecoming class challenges and performances. He was assisted by other students in the Video 2 and Leadership classes who recorded dozens of hours of footage that was then edited down to the final three minute video.
