If your student is riding the bus, they MUST ride it at least one day (either morning or afternoon) this week or they could lose their seat on the bus. This is a State of Florida mandated head count to prove ridership by each student. If your student has afterschool activities and is not riding the bus this week, then they MUST ride the bus one day this week in the morning. This is very important! To check the bus stop for your student click on “Main Menu” at the top of this home page, then click on “Bus Schedule”. Please make sure they ride the bus this week! Remember, no school on Friday.

NEWS
FROM G-STAR FILM DEPARTMENT!
The
latest version of the G-Star Promotional video was produced, shot and edited by
senior Arden Jurskis. Compiling new and archival footage, Arden was able to
produce a promotional piece at the professional level. Thanks Arden.
Throughout the school year, our students turn out over a hundred films. One time each year the students write, direct, produce and star in one major professional film production. This year the film "It's Time" has gone through script development,
cast & crew of over 50 students have been selected, and pre-production is
underway. Production is right around the corner as the 2013-14 student film
rolls out the red carpet for lights, cameras and action. What's it about, you
ask? It is the story of a young, quiet teenager who is trying to come out of
his inner shell while overcoming a traumatic experience.
G-Shorts
is in full swing. This is a student run, independent gorilla style film short
competition where students are responsible for the entire production process.
"Innovation" is this year's theme. The film short program will be
held in the G-Star Sound Stage on Friday, November 22nd. This is an evening of
pure entertainment that you don't want to miss.
WWII
VETERANS DOCUMENTARY SHOOT WAS EXCELLENT!
Our
new afterschool club, the Film Production Club, sponsored by Mr. Suskin filmed
its first documentary project on World War II veterans. Ten veterans from D-Day, The Battle of the
Bulge, Okinawa, and Iwo Jima took part in the documentary. WWII Navy veteran Tom Kaiser arranged the group for
their stories to be told. Mr. Kaiser
said the veterans were very happy with the production and the professionalism
of the students. Mr. Suskin made sure
that the students did work on the production on a professional scale. The raw footage looks excellent. The project is in post-production by the
students and will be ready by November 11th.
