Editor’s note: During the COVID-19 pandemic while most activities have been on hold, we’re taking a look back at past news. Eighth-grade students at Sperreng Middle School sharpened their skills and went to work for a real local business client during a 2019 project in their Digital Literacy Class. The students partnered with Sam Schaeffer, owner of Samtastic Gymnastics, for their “Design for a Client” project. During this project, four teams worked together to create websites, logos, business cards and T-shirts for their client presentations. “Our Sperreng students continue to impress us with their skills with communication, creativity, and collaboration,” said Sperreng Principal Lauren Boeger in a news release. “Students were able to engage in the digital design process and understand the steps involved in a large-scale project for a real client.”
