One of the best pieces of digital storytelling I've seen. Supported by excellent editing and musical score, this is a magical tale that celebrates the difference an education can make.

Tremendous storytelling and the surprise "wow moment" at the end put a unique twist on this video. Intimately personal and compelling. Great job!

The music, sound and video quality are professional and yet also evocative. This video gave me a good feeling and pulled on my emotions. Really well done.

Compelling look at the Astronomy club at Riverdale. Video does a great job showcasing how student academic passion drives learning both in and outside of the classroom at your school. I know nothing about astronomy, and I wanted to join that club by the end of the video!

Beautifully filmed. The student voice is exceptional and you feel the passion for learning in everything you see and hear. The choice of theme captures the imagination from beginning to end.

The theme of this video — relationships matter — is a great focus and is brilliantly executed. The simplicity of the video and the narration really highlights to potential parents why this is a special learning community.

Genuine story, good quality video with music that does not overpower. I get a sense of the school, and having a perspective of someone who is a parent and a teacher is nice. Video clips show the school's personality.
