My Students

My students are embarking on a journey together to learn about broadcasting and all the details that go with it. They love being the ones to bring the latest of what's going on to the rest of the student body.

Our school news team is small but full of heart.

You couldn't ask for a better group of students to support in their desire to learn about broadcasting. Help us make our students' broadcasting dreams come true!

My Project

My students are trying to be the pioneers for the first ever school news team in our school. We'll use all of the supplies to record our shows and get the students the experience they need to learn about broadcasting with hands-on experience.

The camcorder, Macbook, and accompanying accessories will give my students the confidence they need to pursue their broadcasting dreams.

By getting to use the equipment needed, our students will know what it is like to put together a professional broadcast. Starting up a school news team from scratch is expensive, but it is money well spent for an amazing group of students.
