Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Kicking off the 2015-2016 school year, a diverse group of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders have been given the task of collaborating with fellow classmates and teachers to launch our school’s first ever newsroom!

Carol City, located in the heart of Miami Gardens, has a history of pride, adversity, and prosperity.

Our journalism team is passionate about sharing a wealth of knowledge with our school’s community through both school-broadcasted announcements and what will be our first school newspaper. Our newsroom team will cover stories ranging from the history of our school/community to current events, activities, students, faculty and staff.

My Project

Striving to play a vital role in the uplifting transformation of our school and keep school/community awareness on the forefront of our school’s stakeholders minds, we are in need of two Chromebooks, two digital cameras, tripods, SD memory cards, flash drives, ink, copy paper and other office materials. Gaining access to these resources will not only make our Chief Newsroom become a reality, but allow students to discover various roles within a production setting.

Your help will make it possible for Carol City Middle’s students to not only discover their school’s history but broadcast it to their entire Carol City Chief family; all while keeping them up to date on current events and activities occurring at school and within our community.

These supplies will not only allow our team to launch our newsroom, but provide it with valuable equipment for years to come!
