Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In addition to supporting our students' creative endeavors, the lavalier microphones and phone camera stabilizers will play a pivotal role in continuing our highly anticipated second year of the Weekly Wolf News Show.

With these equipment upgrades, our students can deliver professional-quality audio and visually captivating segments for our news program.

The lavalier microphones will ensure crystal-clear sound during interviews and on-location reporting. At the same time, the camera stabilizers will provide smooth and steady shots, enhancing the overall production value of our news show. Your generous support will enable us to sustain and improve upon the success of our Weekly Wolf show, allowing our students to gain invaluable hands-on experience in broadcast journalism and storytelling. Together, we can nurture the next generation of talented journalists and provide them with the tools they need to excel in the ever-evolving media landscape.
