Andy Earls, Redline Media Alliance and all others associated with starting the Alton Sports Network…THANK YOU!
Thank you just isn’t enough! You have no idea how much your support helped shape our program this year. Not only by offering your knowledge but also donating equipment and teaching us how to use it! You have been such a huge help in getting the Multimedia class off to a great start! Your support and faith in our ability made all the difference. You had confidence where we did not and that gave us the confidence we needed.
The students are the real story here. They put in the time and made this program work! They knew going into this year they would have to give of their time and energy both during class and after school. I am so very proud of the students from this first year! There were even students who were unable to take my class but still volunteered to work the equipment or use their talent as commentators. They have laid the groundwork for the future of Alton Sports Network! I am truly excited to see where our program goes from here!
Again, THANK YOU and I’m sure we will be reaching out for guidance and support!
Good Luck moving forward with your future endeavors and you are ALWAYS WELCOME in COMET COUNTRY!
Sincerely,
Marilyn Cockrum and the entire Multimedia Class of 2023

During the orientation, parents will choose a screening time for Thursday, April 13th or Friday, April 14th. Students are required to attend screening.
