Tandem Friends School hosted their 2010 – 2011 Bridge Film Festival Screening on May 16th, 2011, during the school day. Two hundred students and forty teachers attended. The event asked for those attending to bring a dollar or two to give to Peace Winds (an international organization providing aid to the Japanese tsunami victims.) The event raised $500 for Peace Winds. The screening provided the Tandem community an opportunity to celebrate their own BFF film submissions, the BFF winners and many of the other schools’ submissions. The screening also premiered a film created by the 7th grade documenting a spring service project, Honk for Japan. It was a fantastic event for the TFS community, reminding us of our connection to other Quaker schools and to the world.
