What a brilliant way to show how the school is making the best of a frustrating situation. Using the mascot to show real emotions that people on campus are feeling was a great way to get the point across without using certain students. I loved how they tied in video from past years in black and white — super creative and effective! The quality of the video production was top-notch, too!

Beautiful video highlights the campus and life before/after COVID.

Loved the spirit of this video! What a sweet idea.

What a gift of a headmaster that man is to the school, and I hope they know how lucky they are to have him at the helm. His creativity is unmatched, and his humor I'm sure brought some much-needed life to his message and to the homes of his students. Each video I watched seemed to get better and better, and even funnier! I love how he intertwined the important information with funny analogies.

Love the humanity shown in these!

I loved the clarity of the message here, the humor, and the easy to digest message.

Quick and clever. Love the studio audience and the dog head-turn at the end is pretty amazing.
