The Greenfield Foundation and the School District of Upper Dublin are partnering to present the second annual Greenfield Film Festival. A first-of-its-kind regional film competition, the program encourages the pursuit of the creative arts by bringing together faculty from Temple University and talented industry professionals to mentor budding high school filmmakers. A mix of city and suburban schools, both private and public, will make up this year's pool of participants. Any student from Upper Dublin wishing to participate may do so by submitting their film in accordance with the rules listed on the film festival website. Students will have months of access to a full range of state-of-the-art film/video equipment to produce films in one of three categories: fiction/narrative, documentary/personal essay, and experimental/other. After the films have been completed, a prestigious panel of established media professionals, celebrities, and university professors, including winners of Oscars, Grammys, and Emmys, will judge the films. Scholarships and film-related prizes will be awarded at the glamorous, red carpet awards ceremony. The top films in each category will premiere on Friday, May 14th from 7:00 to 9:00 at the beautiful, historic Keswick Theater. The ceremony is free and open to the public, and early arrival is recommended. We look forward to seeing you there. For more information visit www.greenfieldyouthfilmfestival.com

As the result of the loss of our third day of instruction because of inclement weather, we now find ourselves one day short of the 180 days of instruction required by the state. To avoid the possibility of having to add instructional days to the end of the year calendar or the risk of losing state funding, the Board of School Directors approved last night converting March 10th, currently set aside as a Teacher In-Service Day, to a regular day of instruction for all students. In the event of any additional days of instruction lost because of inclement weather, the intent is to add those days on to the end of the year calendar as opposed to impacting on Spring Break, scheduled for March 29th through April 2nd.
