Optimum Community Brings Student Lens Screening to Memorial High School

As part of Optimum Community’s Student Lens program, the Memorial High School student body and community members viewed a special screening of a video produced by students that chronicles a day in the life of U.S. Congressman Albio Sires.

Congressman Sires attended the event and spoke about his experience working with the video production students at the school. After the screening, he participated in a Q&A with the students in attendance.

“I’d like to congratulate the students involved in this project,” said the Congressman. “They were a pleasure to work with ... professional, knowledgeable and truly interested in capturing an insider’s view of a day in the life of a public official. Politics is a broad, complicated subject. Programs such as this make it come alive and help young people better understand what is involved in public service. I would also like to thank Optimum Community for making this program available to our young people.”
