Springdale Park Selected for Taping of Healthy Schools Video

was selected as the location for the taping of "High Performance Healthy Schools," a video produced by Turner Broadcasting.

The taping, which is a project organized in part by the U.S. Green Building Council, will occur throughout the day on Monday, Sept. 26, according to an e-mail sent to parents by school principal Yolanda Brown.

Taping will include “pre-planned video segments with selected students, videotaping of students engaged in lessons on the roof-top garden and in our land-based garden, a video tour of SPARK guided by SPARK students, as well as other classroom shots and interviews with the students and staff,” Brown wrote.

Georgia Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle will visit Springdale Park as part of the taping on Monday.

“We are excited about this opportunity, as the video will capture the various aspects of SPARK (i.e., LEED components, "green" initiatives, health/wellness and nutrition initiatives, and student performance),” Brown wrote. “Thank you to all of the staff and parent volunteers that have helped us to become a leader in health and wellness at the school level.”
