Bellevue students win 2016 Teen Video Challenge

This year’s Teen Video Challenge asked contestants to make a short video that ties into the 2016 summer reading slogan, “Get in the Game – READ.”
The winning entry, created by a group of students at Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bellevue, more than accomplished that sports-related goal. Their 60-second video featured students involved in dancing, lacrosse, tennis, softball, basketball, soccer and football before finishing with other students passing along books in the school library.
The winning video team includes Danielle Baxter, Elena Burnett, Francesca Feider-Blazer, Sofia Gellock, Ella Hikes, Jordan Kerns, Katrina Kuntz, Emma Leventhal, Caroline Shoemaker, Amy Skochdopoleand, Sabrina M. Uyeda, Ximenda Rodriguez Verdieri and Devon Wappler.
The school received a $150 award, which it used for a celebratory party for the talented teens. The Bellevue Public Library received prizes worth $50 from the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) and Demco/Upstart.
The winning video was named one of the CSLP 2016 Teen Videos to promote summer reading nationwide.
Now in its sixth year, the Teen Video Challenge is a national video competition for teens to get involved with reading and their public library's summer reading program. In Washington, it’s sponsored by the Washington State Library and CSLP.
Teens were invited to create a 30-to-90-second video with their unique interpretation of this year’s summer reading slogan. The idea is to involve teens in summer reading, before and during the summer months, by being part of the process.
