Randallstown Elementary, Sparrows Point Middle, Hereford High Win 2016 BCPS Attendance Commercial Contest

From Baltimore County Public Schools:

The 29 entries into this year’s BCPS attendance commercial contest had it all – humor, music, drama, Spanish, animation, and lots of good reasons why it is important to go to school every day. Three commercials stood above the rest for their creativity, energy, and effectiveness, and were selected as winners. They were created by:

Randallstown Elementary School – http://www.bcps.org/bcpstv/video.html?Program=SPC&VideoID=952

Featuring Grade 5 students from Mr. Wilmer’s class and Ms. Stevenson’s class

Main actor: James Shuler

Hereford High School – http://www.bcps.org/bcpstv/video.html?Program=SPC&VideoID=954

The winning entries will be shown on both www.bcps.org and BCPS-TV (on Verizon FiOS 73 and Comcast Cable 34 in Baltimore County). Each group that produced a winning commercial will receive $100, provided by the Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schools (from private business partners’ donations).

“We are excited to announce these winners and showcase their commercials during BCPS Attendance Awareness Month,” said Mychael Dickerson, chief communications officer for BCPS. “Schools across the county submitted entries and spent time thinking about the importance of going to school on time, every day, and how to convey that message to students. We encourage even more schools and students to join in next year.”

Entries were judged by members of the BCPS Department of Communications and Community Outreach.
