May. 16, 2013Crellin Elementary School (teachers, students, parents, and community members) was filmed in the fall of 2011 for a documentary to be aired on television’s PBS channel across the nation. The title of the documentary is “Schools That Change Communities” by Bob Gliner. Crellin was one of five schools from across the nation highlighted in the film.
“We were honored they asked us to be part of it, the whole process was a great reflection exercise,” said Dr. Dana McCauley, principal of Crellin Elementary School.
The documentary has already been airing on PBS stations in various states, but will be aired in Maryland on Sunday, May 19, at 5 p.m. The program will air on Maryland’s PBS second station, MPT2.
On the web site for documentary filmmaker Gliner, he states:
“When we think about schools, it usually evokes images of places separated from the larger community, a place where students go to learn.
