Corporate Video—Great Review!

Just received a great review for my work on a series of enrollment videos for the Hartsbrook School!

Hartsbrook School Video Online

Today I'm uploading the Hartsbrook School's enrollment videos to Vimeo.com. There are three, one for the early childhood program, one for the elementary school, and one for the high school.

Gingerbread House

No, we did not make this. As much as we mean to be ambitious each year, we never got around to making our own. But each year, we bid on a house (or two) at the Hartsbrook School Holiday Fair in Hadley, MA. This is what we won this year, put together by some students at the school.

The Hartsbrook School

Taping today at the Hartsbrook School in Hadley, MA. Got a little bit of wet-on-wet watercolor painting in the two kindergarten classrooms. So sweet! Also, some of the kindergarteners were hauling around big wooden boards and things to make slides and pirate ships in their classroom.

Then, off to the eighth grade for a physics class. Learning about water displacement, their challenge was to shape a 8-by-8 inch sheet of aluminum foil so that it could hold the maximum number of pennies while floating in water. Looked like a lot of fun. When I left, one group had reported floating 104 pennies in their boat. Try it at home!

Goodsearch.com

Here's a painless way to earn money for your school or favorite charity. GoodSearch.com is a Yahoo-driven search engine. For each search you do, GoodSearch will donate 1 penny to your deisgnated cause. They have a handy little chart on their site which shows much could be earned annually with the right combination of people and clicks per day.

Somebody with a knack for social engineering could probably raise a lot of funds! An nice touch is a button that shows you how much your charity has raised through GoodSearch.
