8th Grade Gratitude Video Info

We have always had a tradition at St. Genevieve where students are given an opportunity to express their gratitude towards their family, friends, and teachers, who helped and supported them throughout their elementary and middle school years. This year we are doing this through a short video that we will play during the graduation ceremony.

Your video is due MONDAY, MAY 1

Below are a few questions you may have and where you can watch last year’s videos for a reference. Please read them carefully and follow them. It will help the final video look and sound better.
