The equipment I am requesting is to move our school into the 21st century. The goal is to create a school news program led by students. It would provide students and staff with the weather, school's lunch, any school news, interviews with staff and students, and so much more! The ample learning opportunities these amazing students would benefit from are limitless. By allowing students to create and deliver the school news, we are then empowering students with leadership skills, teaching them a trade, and building their confidence! And, that's just naming a few. Academically, students will be responsible for developing their own questions for interviews, becoming fluent in grammar and public speaking, and this will positively transfer into their core subjects. Students here thrive off of responsibility. They need continuous encouragement and motivation. Most importantly, they need to see and believe that they can achieve in more ways than they know. What better way than "journalism"?
