A little bit of magic

Students at Dunnellon Ele- mentary School were treated Friday to a special presentation from Debbie Garcia-Ben- gochea from Gentle Carousel Horses at the school. Nadine Tull, who passed away more than a week ago, was instrumental in bringing Gentle Carousel Horses and Magic to the school after securing a grant. Students at the school more than tripled their goal of reaching 6,000 Accelerated Reader (AR) points. Clockwise from top left: Dunnellon Elementary School students are given the chance to pet Magic and say hello during Gentle Carousel Horses’ visit to the school. Mya Smith is wide-eyed as she reads to Magic. Athena Tarnowski, a first- grader, was dressed the part of cowgirl for Gentle Carousel Horses. Teacher Vicki Vinther greets Magic with a few special words during his appearance at the school. Kindergartners Chloe Roy, left, and Jacob Peeples laugh as Debbie Garcia-Bengochea reads a story about Magic. Lily Whitt listens intently as Debbie Garcia-Bengochea from Gentle Carousel Horses.

Photos by JEFF BRYAN/Riverland News The Dunnellon Middle School TV production class poses with the numerous awards they collected during the annual Media Festival at West Port High School’s Performing Arts Center. Dunnellon Middle School students won 10 first-place awards, including the Best of Show for the fourth straight year. FESTIVAL continued from page 1 work, dedication and enthusiasm; you can see the students, not only mine, but the others are really grasping what they are doing. They are doing great work, and we should ap- plaud each and every one of them for putting forth their best effort.” Still, the shock was evident on Wood’s face when the student-produced video, “Phone Book,” which took top honors in the comedy division, was announced as the top winner in the middle school division at the end of the two-plus hour ceremony. A strong Dunnellon contingency, which included numerous parents, let out a thunderous ovation. “Wow,” Wood said. “They worked really hard all year. It’s wonderful to see them be able to celebrate.” In addition to the 10 first-place awards, Dun- nellon Middle School students won seven second-place honors and five third-place accolades. Dunnellon Middle School students weren’t the lone big winners during the evening’s fes- tivities. Dunnellon Ele- mentary School pupils captured a total of seven awards, including first place in the Com- edy Division for kindergarten through second grade and first in Public Service Announcement in grades third through fifth. Overall, Dunnel- lon Elementary placed second in three categories and third in two other divisions. Romeo Elementary School didn’t go home empty handed, taking second place in the grades third through fifth Public Service An- nouncement category. But the elementary school students pulled off a coup during the Best of Show, capturing top honors for its Com- edy Division entry, “Don’t Be an Idiom!.” Teacher Brittany Loury, who transferred to the Highland County Public School system midway through the school year, said her students “worked so hard on their video, ‘Don't Be an Idiom!,’ and it paid off.” Loury, who transferred to the Highland Clockwise from top left, a television cameraman focuses in on Dunnellon Elementary School students as they make their County Public School way onto the stage to receive an award; Erica Clarke, a student at Dunnellon Elementary School, pumps her first after col- system midway through lecting a first-place award in the Comedy division for pupils in kindergarten through second grade; Dunnellon Middle School the school year, said her student Jeni Walker snaps pictures of classmates accepting an award; Judi Zanetti, executive director of the Public Edu- students “worked so cation Foundation of Marion County, and George Tomyn, the superintendent of the Marion County Public School system, hard on their video, prepare to announce the Best of Show winners for the middle and high schools; and Elizabeth Centeno smiles after re- ‘Don't Be an Idiom!,’ ceiving a first-place trophy in the Animation division, the first time Dunnellon Middle School has won the category, while and it paid off.” classmates Bidi Perez, hidden behind Centeno, and Adrienne Sikora and Kameron Grossi make their way across the stage.
