Exciting Community Partnership! 📚🎨🎬
We're thrilled to announce a fantastic new collaboration between Owego Free Academy students and the Owego Apalachin Family Reading Partnership! Students from Ms. Simpson's Graphic Design Class and Mr. McEvoy's Digital Media Class recently met with Family Reading Partnership board members to kick off an exciting project.
Our talented students will be developing new and updated marketing materials for the organization, bringing fresh ideas and their digital expertise to help promote literacy in our community. This partnership provides invaluable real-world experience for our students while supporting a wonderful cause.
We can't wait to see the creative designs and media they produce! Stay tuned for updates on their progress!
