– Laura Harmon (SEVA Teacher)

“The DLTV students have inspired our teachers and staff to start creating content for our school.  It’s been a wonderful way to keep us connected. Thank you for your continued support and for providing David Lubin with access to things like Audio Blocks. It’s made a huge difference.”

“I just appreciate that SECC provides a venue for the public recognition of outstanding students work. I believe students will work harder on a project if they think it might be shown outside of the classroom. The SEVA Awards and SEVATV provides students an incentive to reach for a broader audience.” – Brad Clark (SEVA Teacher)

I really appreciate you providing such services to our schools to support our creative aspirations. Additionally, I would really like to thank you for providing me and other students with equipment that we can use to further satisfy our filmmaking needs. I really cannot thank you enough for the support you have brought me towards my future career goals. I just wanted to let you know that your efforts and events are greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you again for everything you all do for the Elk Grove filmmaking community.” – Hailey Bava (SEVA Student)

“About 6 years ago, I was getting burnt out on teaching. Being part of the SECC organization has brought back the energy I needed to keep going. I incorporate video into my lessons as much as I can. My favorite part is the pitch fest. I like brain storming with students, enjoy their new ideas, and hearing what they have researched.
Filming Red Carpet interviews showed me how important SECC is to all our studios. Students are passionate about their videos. When the ZOOM cameras turned on, and they saw the SECC banner, you could hear laughter and claps. Numerous students and parents after taping, would take a moment and say ‘Please tell SECC thank you for making the virtual experience.’
Receiving the Allan Hinderstein Award means a lot to me. I want to share it with my Sunrise students, all the SECC media teachers, and you. We all work so hard teaching our future media students. We make a difference to these students and give them a platform to express their creative talents. Watching students start and finish a video is exciting for me. I enjoy seeing their faces light up, when we show case their hard work.
I truly feel lucky to be part of the SECC family.
-Trevor Harding (SEVA Teacher)
