Sullins Students to be Featured
in BVU Commercials
 | |
As part of our celebration of reading at Sullins Academy, a group of eleven students recorded a commercial sharing our message about the importance of reading. This commercial will be aired on the local community channel on the BVU Network. Students who participated were the children chosen last year for the radio spots that were recorded and aired on the local radio stations. This year's radio spot participants will be the ones to do the commercial next year. We are pleased that we have the opportunity to share our message about reading with the community. (Click the link above to see one of the 4 commercials recorded).
