Lifetouch has a COVID-19 readiness plan, which is located on their website and outlines their safety protocols. You can view this plan HERE.
It's finally here! Thank you all for your patience as we learned about non-linear video editing, audio engineering, color correction, animation, and digital asset management to bring this socially-distanced adaptation to life. Many of our lead performers are a month into middle school already, but their last Chapel play performance is now ready for its debut in virtual form.
We hope you enjoy this labor of love and that it's something your family can hold on to as a reminder of the positive things that have come out of these challenging times. We have decided not to host a public viewing because it isn't possible for us to make it a full-school event given the restrictions on crowd sizes currently in place even for outdoor events. We want to abide by all regulations and be sure to keep the Chapel community safe.
