On June 15, 2016 Learning Under the Sun had a Skype session playing the game Kahoot.  Thanks to Steve Auslander, a Skype Master, students competed with schools in South Africa, Nepal, India and Germany.  This took place in the gym at Nora Elementary.   Four girls from John Strange Elementary:  Riley Tew, Maya Sturmer, Katie Cooney and Reese Perez won the contest with over 300 students playing.

The Board and I would like to recognize two individuals who have expressed considerable support for Washington Township Schools, through their contribution of time and services to create and informational video for the district.

Mike Yonts, who is the President of Mike Yonts Films, Inc., parent of a North Central alumnus class of 2016, and husband to former Board Member Cheri Harris, has donated countless hours of video production services to shoot, edit, direct, and produce to make this invaluable informational tool available to our school community.

 

We thank Mr. Yonts for going above and beyond to make this vision a reality and we appreciate so very much the support that he gives to Washington Township.

Phil Bremen is Associate professor and news sequence chair for the Department of Telecommunications at Ball State University.  Mr. Bremen is also husband to Mrs. Susie Bremen who is Coordinator for College Counseling at North Central High School. Mr. Bremen was an integral part of our script writing team for this video, lending his expertise on best practices as a telecommunications professor.  In addition to countless revisions of wording and phrasing, Mr. Bremen also lent his voice to the project. His voice recognizable to the Indianapolis community as press secretary to a former governor, and news journalist for several local media outlets, is the voice that carries the important factual information about Washington Township, presented in this video.

We can’t thank these two individuals enough … yes for their time and professional expertise, but even more importantly for the support that they have shown for Washington Township through their volunteer efforts, during this critical time.
