After 23 years, the Coronado Schools Foundation Telethon is getting a complete makeover. It’s being re-imagined and re-energized by a new generation. Coronado School students will be producing the event for the first time. Under the guidance of their teachers, they will showcase their considerable creativity and skill in digital media, performance and communications.

Now known as the Connect-A-Thon, the event will highlight current and lifelong connections between each public school and our Coronado community. It will include student-produced videos, live acts and a fresh approach to the old-school format. Connections will go beyond the traditional phone-in to include additional electronic and social media.

Connect-A-Thon 2012 will continue to be a major event to support Coronado Schools Foundation’s funding to promote academic excellence throughout the Coronado Unified School District’s five schools. The Connect-A-Thon is under development and will be held Thursday, March 15, 2012 in the Coronado High School Quad and Theatre.

We’re connecting our community to support our schools. Stay tuned for more information. Tune in and be amazed.
