On April 27, local filmmaker and producer, Sue Vicory held a premier for her newest film, Cultivating Kindness, at the Blue Moon Youth Center in Blue Mound. At that time, several community members involved in creating the film, along with all of the USD 346 students who were recognized over the course of this past school year through the Cultivating Kindness initiative in the district, were invited to the premier.
In early June, Vicory received word that the film, along with several crew members had been selected to receive a Telly Award for their contribution to the creating of the film.
Telly Awards, founded in 1979, recognize excellence in video and television in multiple categories, celebrating the achievements of film makers.
