Did
you catch this year’s hottest celebration of moviemaking talent? With
its red carpet, elegantly dressed movie stars, golden statuettes for the
winners, and emotional acceptance speeches, it’s certainly a night to remember.
I
am talking, of course, about The Raymonds, the annual festival devoted to
artistic collaborations between the students of Jordan Small Middle School and
Raymond Elementary School. Each year, students from JSMS work with classes at
the elementary school to produce short movies. The Raymonds celebrates these
artistic endeavors with a night of awards, speeches, and musical performances.
The
Windham Eagle offers a hearty congratulations to all the participants!
