Sippican School and VASE are working together on a project and need your help to spread happiness to the seniors within our community!
This idea came about when a Sippican parent had reached out, trying to get a campaign off the ground for the residents at the Sippican Health Care Center, as one of her parents had recently been there. She knew first-hand how difficult it was for her elderly parent and wanted to find a way for the children to send cards to cheer up the residents. We reached out and discovered that, unfortunately, due to health concerns, we could not send cards.
Then a light went on! If we can’t physically send the cards in, then why not create a slideshow of cards and video messages from the children, families and anyone in the community.
We reached out to ORCTV and they were delighted to get on board and help! With ORCTV on board, we know that we can now reach so many more seniors and community members who are stuck inside and provide them with positive messages! We are asking our students, families, teachers, and community members to send in photos or short video clips that will be edited together to create a video montage. This video montage will be edited and aired by ORCTV, in the hopes that it will bring joy and happiness during this difficult time.
Here is what we need from you…
•Take pictures holding up signs and/or cards with positive and uplifting messages, or you can take a short video sharing some well wishes. Videos should be no more than 1-2 minutes long. (Check out this resource with tips on how to shoot a high-quality video!)
•Upload photos and videos to the shared Google drive, “Photos/Videos for ORCTV
Senior Video.” (Email Ms. Sebastiao – contact below – for a link to the Google drive)
Submit all photos and videos by Friday, April 10 by 1:00 pm.
If you have any questions or need help uploading files to the Google Drive, please contact Kathryn Sebastiao at kathrynsebastiao@oldrochester.org.
We can’t wait to see the final product and hope everyone gets involved!
