Thanks for Making 2011 a Great Year!
The Brunswick Schools Video Program thanks all of our wonderful sponsors for making 2011 an exceptional year. Since 2000, the nationally-recognized, award-winning Program has provided over 200 students (grades 6-12) the unique opportunity to produce, direct, shoot and edit over 1,500 programs that have aired locally and nationally.
Students gain valuable skills in teamwork and creativity on high-end equipment, while our district and Medina County community benefit from new and fresh community programming.
The Program would not exist if not for the generous support of the Brunswick School District, Board of Education, and over 80 businesses who contributed over $150,000 in funds, equipment and services toward the purchase of state-of-the-art video production equipment.
Interested in becoming a sponsor? Please contact John Wasylko, Community Relations
