TYNGSBOROUGH — Superintendent Jill Davis is pleased share that Greater Lowell Tech shared a virtual Home for the Holidays Show with students and staff this morning.
The video show was shared with the Greater Lowell Tech community through its YouTube channel, linked here, at 9:30 a.m. this morning. The video is also linked on the district’s homepage, here.
Each year, the district holds a holiday show for each grade level. The district decided to continue the tradition virtually this year, and encouraged students to submit video entries for consideration by Dec. 11. The district also expanded the holiday show to include student art, photos from staff, and a video compilation of students and staff singing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You.”
In all, 15 video performances were selected for the annual show, and the approximately hour long video was produced and edited by Media Services Specialist Juan Coca. The video was also storyboarded and scripted by Coca and Student Activities Coordinator Sharon Cornellier.
“This was a wonderfully creative way for students to celebrate the holidays and share their talents while still ensuring social distancing protocols were being followed,” Superintendent Davis said. “I’d like to thank all of our faculty and staff who worked to coordinate this show, as well as the students who volunteered to take part. Thank you all for doing your best to spread holiday cheer among our community.”
Dozens of students submitted entries for consideration, which included dance, musical and technical talent performances. The video additionally includes 12 graphic interchange format animations (gifs) submitted by Design and Visual Communications students, 13 art samples and 15 staff photos.
“Greater Lowell Tech is a close-knit, diverse community, and this variety show exemplifies that,” Cornellier said. “Our students did a wonderful job showing their artistic and technical talents. This was a perfect way for our community to come together and get in the holiday spirit.”
