…so here I will practice. I have a lot of respect for bloggers who get their point across in a couple of paragraphs and don’t go on long enough to make their scrollbar become tiny. In a screenwriting class I took in college, we had a rule called “Get In & Get Out.” The idea is to introduce your subject, make your point, and wrap it up concisely.
Therefore, I hereby repent of extremely long blog posts. May they be used wisely.
I’m a member of The Summit Church in Raleigh, NC and attend the North Raleigh Campus. One of the ways we glorify God at the Summit is to love and serve our community, and that includes our public schools.
So we have an opportunity from today until September 30 to vote for Fox Road Elementary School on Pepsi’s Refresh Project. Here is what Fox Road Elementary has to say about their need:
Fox Road Elementary School has educated students for over 20 years. During these two decades, many of the books in our bookroom have become outdated, gotten lost, or become damaged. As we endeavor to “Rebuild Our Bookroom”, we hope to update our bookroom so it reflects the interests and diversity of our school population. We want to purchase a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction books for students to use for guided reading instruction. We also need bookcases and book bins to store the books in the bookroom. The books in our bookroom are used by teachers in all grades (K-5) to provide our 850 students with texts they need learn to think both critically and creatively. As we rebuild our bookroom, we also build successful and confident readers.
Here’s my face animation/lip sync from class today. I rendered it with Maya Software, exported the image sequence as a .mov from quicktime pro and synced the audio with Premiere Pro, apparently somewhere in there the aspect ratio got off a little. Oh well…
