Congratulations on receiving the awards from the Texas School Public Relations Association. What an honor, not only for you, but for our district as well. These awards are certainly worthy to be received due to your many efforts and constant diligence. Your professionalism and dedication are greatly appreciated.

I just finished viewing the All America City video with Dixie and I had to sit down and write you a note before I allowed myself to forget. The video is nothing short of “All-American!” You did a beautiful job of blending the fun and festivities of the competition with a permanent record of our formal presentation, Thank you so much.

I’ve had an opportunity to enjoy many of the videos you’ve worked on for joint City – School projects (Youth Services, NORTEEKS, Kids Quest and now AAC), and your talent and creativity never cease to amaze me. I suppose I should also thank Dixie for allowing you to work on these special projects.

David, you’re a valuable resource for the city and I wanted you to know how much we appreciate your fine work.

Sincerely,

Carol Zolnerowich

 

 

The new News programs look great! The approach is fresh and “Young”…I think it will be a success with the students as well as the teachers. The Community Explorer was a great idea. Thanks to each of you for a job well done.

“Stranger Danger” is great! The strobe effects, the rapid pace and the Muppets should hold their attention enough to get the message across. Thanks for doing you job so well. You make us all look good!

Dixie

I want to offer up my undying gratitude for helping me produce our “Olympic Torch Relay” video. At the close of the retreat, the opening session (which consisted of the video) got a rating of 1.3 on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being highest. We got lots of positive comments and requests to show it again.

My fellow committee members in particular were still guffawing over it for days afterward. I think the “instant replay” was their very favorite part. I showed it to a few people prior to the “premiere” and the people who had already seen it were jabbing their friends in the ribs, snickering “watch this! Watch this!”

My erstwhile cameraman was flabbergasted with the results. (Wow! It doesn’t even look like the same videotape!)

In any case, it was a LARGE hit. Thank you SO MUCH for humoring me.

Sincerely,

Judy Kriehn

Communications Assistant

Garland ISD

 

 

I want to sincerely thank you for the wonderful job you did on the “Readers are Leaders” video. The children are so precious. I’m really praying that it will be an inspiration to children everywhere.

Thanks you again for helping my dream become a reality.

Sincerely,

Linda Grant

 

 

I would like to take a moment to express my belated appreciation for the GREAT job you and your staff did with the “Torch Relay” video for our administrative retreat. It proved to be the well-received opening session we have ever had with requests to show it again and again.

I know that your department is very busy with many projects. I appreciate your allowing your staff to take time from their schedules to humor Judy and help her with her “quest for the best.” Based on the professional quality product she came back with, I definitely think she found it with your department.

It is so nice to have such a spirit of cooperation with a neighboring district. Thank you again for helping to make the annual Garland ISD Administrative Retreat one of the most successful ones we have ever had.

Sincerely

Deborah Cron, Ph.D.

Assistant Superintendent

 

 

I want to compliment the job David Franzina did with the “Blood borne Pathogens” video. It is so professional! It thrills me to work for a district that puts 150% into programs as wonderful as this. David is a true asset to the district.

Awesome!!! Once again the OM Awards Ceremony was a huge success! The video was wonderful! The audience loved the video with pictures of the kids. Students cheered and yelled all the way through it. The OM Video Scrapbook was also wonderful. The ITV staff pulled it off once again and entertained the crowds with humor and excellent footage! I appreciate all the time and effort your team put onto the planning and preparing for this event. The waiting list for checking out the video is already long!!! Thanks again for your generous support. The productions from you team set our Awards Ceremony apart from any other in the state…and most likely in the world!

Thanks!

Betsy Adams

You are a credit to the MISD.

Congratulations!

The video for Young Writers’ Workshop was MARVELOUS!!! This is your very best effort. It has captured the spirit and intent of YWW in a lively, colorful way. I liked the title which you scripted with the Quill Pen; that was pure genius.

From all the board, I thank you and all those who assisted you. You do a great deal to make this workshop a success for us. I am most appreciative.

Reading Coordinator

 

 

I can not even begin to express the feelings I have toward the Odyssey of the Mind video by David and Robbie. They did a superb job of catching the essence, the excitement, and the thrill of OM. The video portrayed emotions, displayed costumes, shared ideas and showed off the creativity of Mesquite students. It captured the spirit of OM! It was so much more than I ever thought it could have been. So many people have shared the same feelings with me. I wish you could have heard the crowd…the kids…the parents and US! The applause and electricity that ran through the audience would have given you goose bumps! Hats off to you and your staff for a job well done!

Betsy Adams

 

 

Thank you for helping us with our integrated library unit. The video was excellent! We appreciate all of the ITV staff!

Debbie Thompson

 

 

 

Kids Quest was a tremendous success and MISD certainly did its part to make it so. I especially appreciate your volunteering to go out to the site and do the physical labor it too to build the project. When the community sees us involved in their projects, they are more likely to support us in ours, whether it’s a rollback attempt or a bond election. Community support is built a little at a time in small chunks by people like you being involved and visible in the community.

Again, thanks for your help in Kids Quest and thanks for doing your part for public relations.

Sincerely,

Dixie Parris

 

 

Thank you so much for all your time and work on the Cultural Awareness Program for ITV. I have heard so many positive comments. The graphics at the beginning of the program are great. After filming, I have a new respect for all the work and preparation that goes into taping a program. Thank you for all your hard work you did a super job and I am very pleased with the outcome of the program.

Sincerely,

Dear David,

Thanks for a job well done… the “With this Light” video evoked exactly the kind of emotion we wanted. Teachers were proud and walked just a little taller because of your talents.

Thanks

Thanks for your hard work on our library automation video. It looks great!!! What a quality production we have to introduce our libraries to the board and other groups! We really appreciate our ITV professionals. Thanks!

Thank you and your staff for coming to our local track meet at Hanby Stadium. Your idea for a promotional video is just wonderful. To have such a video will thrill our parents. This program, I feel, gives our families such pride in their children. Also, David Franzina is such a delight to work with. He also came to Allen, Texas to do some more taping. All of you have been wonderful to work with and I thank you for all of our Special Olympians.

Sincerely,

Marsha Brown

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me edit and put together my video. It turned out great and I owe almost all of it to you. My wonderful filming ability did not give you a lot to work with. The presentation was a success mostly because I had a great video. Thank you! Your time and hard work is greatly appreciated

Sincerely,

Heather Burdick

 

 

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to you for all your help on my video presentation. I realize that you took time off from your other projects in order to help me with my small video! I finally saw your commercial on television. It was Awesome! Thanks again for all of your time and help!

Sincerely,

Rob Dodson
