A favorite memory from your school library this school year!
One of Showell's own met a Showell graduate at Media Expo in March. We were able to watch current projects during the Gallery Viewing at SHHS. The next day, during media we viewed more student-created Lego stop motion animation videos. If you want to know more about how your child can create something like this themselves, click on the link, read the description, then watch and be inspired! One suggested app for creation is Stop Motion. Reach out to your school librarians to learn more.
