Project Firework: The official lipdub-flashmob mash-up performed by the amazing staff at Forest Trail Elementary! On Friday, May 6th, 2011 the entire staff at Forest Trail Elementary made MAGIC in Austin, Texas as they filmed a lipdub to Katy Perry's "Firework." On Friday, May 20th, the lipdub was shared with all of the students at the final assembly of the school-year. As the camera in the lipdub video reached the doors to the cafeteria, the doors opened in real life and the teachers flashmobbed the students at the assembly! Students were amazed, parents were crying and the staff had a BLAST! In addition to surprising students and sending them off to summer with a BANG, one of our main goals of this project was to capture the strong bond we have among our staff at Forest Trail - our "Forest Trail Family." During the making of Project Firework, the staff was truly incredible as they worked together, putting forth great effort, endless creativity and boundless energy in the last few weeks of school in order to prepare for these events. The thing that stands out the most, though, is how much FUN we all had in the process! This started out as "something fun to do for the kids" and quickly evolved into an event that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. Based on many requests from community members, we are now sharing our project on YouTube to bring smiles to people all around the world. Many thanks to: -Katy Perry for recording such a motivational song - We couldn <b>...</b>
