On February 25, a group of 11 Lytle student filmmakers traveled to Austin to see our Camp CAMP documentary on the big screen at the historic Paramount Theatre. Out of 743 films submitted to UIL this year, only 92 are chosen to show on the big screen and considered for the top two places in the state. We are proud that Lytle High School has been to the STATE level 4 times in the past 7 years of the contest. The only school that beats us in appearances at state is Argyle High School. There are hundreds of schools that have never had a chance to walk the red carpet in Austin and our kids have bragging rights when it comes to this incredible honor - 4 returns!
This year we did not place 1st or 2nd at State UIL for our film entry, however, the Camp CAMP documentary received the Runner Up Nobelity Social Impact Award, which includes a $500 gift card for our school to buy additional film equipment. Nice! Thank you for all your support of our students, and a big thank you to Robert Mumme and Donelle Harris who help in sponsoring this team's production endeavors. If you haven't seen it yet, please watch the film, as it's a wonderful testimony to the work done at Camp CAMP, and we hope it will help this organization recruit more young volunteers, which is what they need to continue to service their beautiful population of campers. Watch and share! Camp CAMP Volunteers: https://youtu.be/ePKWb0zPlIY
