The 50 years of Telecom documentary project
Assignment: Help tell the story of Telecom so we can best connect with the thousands of LFHS alums who have been impacted by class over the last 50 years. Either through a documentary or a social media approach to telling the various stories that have laid the foundation and grown this unique program.
Due: Content that can be presented on the LFHS New Media Facebook page or potentially at the reunion June 9th at Gorton Community Center.
