Jericho Teen Wins National Recognition for Whiteboard Animation Video

When I was in eighth grade, I was happy to make a hotplate in shop class that didn't break under direct pressure. Which makes me all the more impressed — and envious — to see the animated short video (above), "Whatever Comes to Mind,"  by 14-year-old Jack Fagnant. The eighth grader at Browns River Middle School in Jericho was recognized recently with two 2014 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards: a regional Gold Medal and an American Visions medal.  In 2013, the awards received more than 230,000 original works from students across the country. This year, Fagnant was one of only 1,886 artists and writers to be recognized.

Fagnant (who deliberately misspelled his last name in the credits) says he spent about three hours a day for five days working on the stop-motion video, which he completed at summer camp last year. Then, at the start of this school year, he submitted to the statewide competition at the encouragement of his school's librarian.

Site visits on April 29th and May 8th to the two new projects are in need of team members.
