Community invited to attend on March 23

March 10, 2010- The Voorheesville Central School District has announced the scheduling of its second annual Media Arts & Technology Festival on Tuesday, March 23, at 6:30 p.m. at the high school.

The event will start with a keynote address from James and Maureen Tusty, local documentary filmmakers based in East Greenbush, who are the producers of the documentary "The Singing Revolution." The festival will continue as an open house featuring collections of current student work in the fields of art, technology and digital graphics, technology exhibits of students demonstrating the software they use in the technology program at Voorheesville, and an alumni showcase featuring the work of Voorheesville graduates in many technological fields.

"We encourage community members, parents, staff and students  to attend to see how students are utilizing the latest technologies," said Brian Stumbaugh, educational technology specialist. "We are really excited about having some of our alumni come back and share their work with students. It's a great opportunity for them to see some of the amazing things their fellow Blackbirds are doing in the fields of art, photography, acting and technology."

Admission to the event is free and open to the public.

The Media Arts and Technology Festival will be the culmination of events throughout the day at the high school. Other events planned for the day include classroom workshops led by the Tustys, alumni lectures and workshops

We hope to see you there!
