Twenty teams of high school students across the state
created videos for the Oregon Youth Employment Safety Video contest.
Seven were selected as finalists. On Saturday, at an event at Northern
Lights Theater, Eden McCall was awarded First place and some prizes for her
amazing work. Her video was shown on the big screen in front of a theater
packed with other finalists. Most of the videos were created by large
teams, it was even more impressive that she created this video completely on
her own. A link to Eden’s video can be found on the Sprague
Website. Way to Go Eden!!! 5/2
