Any Given Day at Giant Steps. Facilities like this are needed in every neighborhood.
Two of our students, Dakota and Ezra, filmed daily events at Giaint Steps all through the school year. They choose the shots of the most interest and (with the help of a teacher) learned to edit them using i-Movie. Then, they picked a piece of music (out if i-tunes) that was the same length as the footage they shot. The results are "Any Given Day at Giant Steps".
