My Project

The microphone and green screen kit will allow our news crew to develop their journalism skills while providing up-to-date news to our school building. With the right tools, all of our staff and students can be immersed in our school community in an informative, fun, and engaging way!

Our school news helped build a more welcoming culture not only with students, but with staff as well.

We began our school news last year, and it was a huge success. We want to bring it back, bigger and better this year! Having the appropriate tools will help us accomplish this goal!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
