Once again Boyertown Area Senior High telecommunications students and their teacher, Mr. Bill Cherkasky, have produced an informative and creative video for the annual Boyertown Area Progress dinner,  sponsored by the TriCounty Area Chamber of Commerce. 

The film, scripted, acted, and produced by telecommunications interns Evan Deegan, Giancarlo Gargano, Derek Gilbert, Steven Gregory and Harrison Maxymillian, debuted  March 27, 2025 at La Massaria at Bella Vista Golf Course, where the event was held. 

Highlighting the progress made in the community, the movie focused on four companies that serve the area: Carmelo's Pizza and Italian Water Ice, Community Health & Dental Care, Lehigh Valley Health Network, The Peppermint Stick Candy Store & Ice Cream Parlor.  The student video production was warmly received by the audience.  In addition to the video, the evening included the presentation of several awards and Boyertown Area High School's Flute Choir entertaining during dinner.
