Angry Words

"Angry Words" was created by then 7th grader Lia Yamasato.  At the time, the video game "Angry Birds" was very popular and so Lia found a way to use the idea of the "Angry Birds" game into a PSA about bullying.  This won 1st place in the 2012 Olelo Youth XChange competition in the middle school animation category and was a finalist in the 2012 HMSA Teen Video Awards.
Try Again

A year later, 8th grader Lia Yamasato created another animation masterpiece, "Try Again", a PSA about not giving up.  She repeated as the 1st place winner in the 2013 Olelo Youth XChange competition in the middle school animation category and again was a finalist in the 2013 HMSA Teen Video Awards.
