VIDEO: Last Days of Leidy

Along with my big project this summer, I'm also helping my aunt Lori Waselchuk begin the dive into video. She shot this footage before I came, and we worked together on editing and producing it!

It's really an unfortunate story that is being covered a decent bit in different ways. The School District of Philadelphia cut 24 schools at the end of the 2012/13 school year, forcing a lot of kids to move to different public schools or pay for charter schools. Lori embedded in the Joseph Leidy Elementary School the weeks before it closed to get a feel for what the community would be missing out on.
