My best friend since middle school and I traveled to New Orleans for some good food, music, nature, and history. We walked around Jackson Square and the French Quarter, saw Nicholas Cage's eventual final resting place, toured the Sazerac house, drank sangria from blood bags, and explored the World War II museum. ~Follow Me~ TikTok: @rachelprost Instagram: @skwydeth

Avid concert goer and tech-savvy, Beau Zamora, worked as a music industry professional in Kansas. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic began, Beau watched his entire year collapse in 72 hours.

This project was produced in the Department of Communicating Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. It is my first documentary for my advanced video production course. Thank you Anna Krengel and Video Universe for helping me make this film possible.

Companies to Classrooms Duluth (C2C) is a Duluth, Minnesota based all-volunteer run nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students and educators by providing classroom supplies free of charge. They do this through the operation of a free-store stocked with new and gently-used items donated by local businesses, organizations and individuals.

As teachers have moved schools and changed positions, they donate to Companies to Classrooms Duluth (C2C) to pass on materials and supplies that they no longer need, but could still be used by others. Learn how C2C has made a difference in Annette's classroom and her students.

Companies to Classrooms Duluth (C2C) gets classroom supplies into the hands of students who need them, without money coming from the pockets of hard-working teachers or their school districts. Listen to why Jessica has shopped at C2C for the past six years.
