EGFC Produced Video for the Elk Grove Parent Teacher Council

For the last 3 decades, the Elk grove Parent Teacher Council has hosted the "Holiday Sampler Arts and Crafts Show" the first Sunday of November. The purpose of the show is to raise funds that go right back to the school to help run clubs and activities. The EG Film Club has received generous grants from the PTC.

Several Elk Grove Film Club students filmed the craft show in 2015 and we just completed a video that shows just how important the Craft Show is to the students of Elk Grove High School.
