A helicopter from Blue Hills Helicopter Company arrived at Foxborough High School Wednesday to help students film an aerial scene as part of their student video project.
Foxborough High School students, led by senior Virag Vora, have been working on a school-wide Lip Dub video as this year’s student video project since February and spent Wednesday wrapping up the project’s final scene Wednesday in dramatic fashion. “They wanted their ending to be dramatic, in which their camera is lifted from the ground ad swoops up into the sky,” said Foxborough Superintendent of Schools Debra Spinelli.

Her children have gone through the Foxborough school system and the district has employed her in various roles for a number of years. Despite that familiarity, Spinelli found herself in a role last year she never thought she’d be in at any point in her educational career – Superintendent of Schools. “I never thought I wanted to be a superintendent,” Spinelli said. “I think what happened was Foxborough.
