Movie from PGHS got second place in the state level competition

JI had amazing movies this year, but only 2 were about 3 minutes and I could submit them to the UFLA video competition.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bhVurDLd4Ls&list=PL8gsxdE8GuBte2NVpl6-U-0bUDnAU6vGZ

Mattia Lo Russo from PGHS made a very funny movie about Pringles and his movie got second place in the state level!

Next year, I hope to have more movies within 3 minutes that I can submit.

Thanks everyone for yor hard work. You all are my motivation to keep coming to work.

Practice, review or learn new vocab in Japanese

I loved the feedback I have been getting from parents. Every student is different. There are some that learns fast and some that needs to review/practice constantly. That's the purpose I've created this post. You can review the level you want and also go ahead and learn more about the level you want as well. Good luck!
