Last Monday night we had the 9th Annual Night at the Oscars...this is one of our favorite events of the year where every high school Campus Life makes a short film and then competes to see who wins the best movie among other awards (best actor, best stunt, etc.) It is such a fun event where we can hang out with the students and see their creativity through the films they make.
We do our best to give the students a genuine red carpet event complete with paparazzi, press passes, red carpet interviews, entertainment and so much more! Ryan Chandler, a teacher at Elkhorn Middle School, came to share some of his skills with the students. Chandler is also known as the "Old Market Magician" and he is very good at what he does! Some of the tricks he performed were so good that students are still talking about it. Chandler did more than tricks though, he linked his hobby to the idea that the world is full of distractions (much like his tricks), but we have to keep our eye on the big picture and the things that matter. He told the students about Christ and how He is the big picture! If you want to read more about the event, Brian's cousin Vince, who was a judge for the movies and is also the editor of the Gretna Breeze newspaper, wrote a great article about in last week's paper. You can find it here.
