A is for Apple: Grading Achievement in Schools

"An Eastside Vancouver high school launches a media campaign to counter its low marks on the Fraser Institute's annual school rankings. This sparks a community project to explore public education issues and mentor student volunteers in documentary filmmaking. Questioning the growing emphasis on standardized testing, A is for Apple tests the value of authentic learning experiences outside the classroom. Blending stylized interviews and behind-the-scenes coverage with archival footage, the film wryly uses the propaganda film form to encourage media literacy and youth citizenship; stimulating discussion about the purpose of education and its assessment."

Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House is a non-profit, volunteer-driven community service organization providing programs and services to the residents of Northeast Vancouver for over 35 years.  As a Neighbourhood House, we welcome everyone in our community and offer a safe place to learn, get help, volunteer, make friends, build community and belong.  We value diversity.  Frog Hollow is a United Way agency and receives funding from municipal, provincial and federal governments in addition to its fee-for-service childcare programs.  We currently have approximately 50 employees and over 200 volunteers supporting programs in our main facility and three off-site locations. 

Frog Hollow offers programs for children and youth, adult literacy and ESL, families, seniors and the community at-large.  We provide many community services including an annual Pumpkin Patch event for local schools, daycares and the general community, quarterly community dinners, support for families in need at Christmas, facilitation of local self-run family, seniors, and youth groups, family camps, community meetings and referrals to other services in the community.  We work with other community organizations in collaborative projects and to advocate for the residents of our neighbourhoods.  We are a hub for people in our community who need help, who want to organize a group, who want to volunteer, who want to participate in a program, to learn or just want to feel a sense of belonging and support.
