My Project

I currently work in a school where 80% of my students receive free and reduced-price lunch services. The majority of my students are living below the poverty line and are struggling to get by. Most of their parents can only buy the essentials for surviving. Unfortunately, after school and extra-curricular activities are not considered essential for these families, so our students often do without these experiences.

The experiences that students get from extra-curricular activities are so important to how students develop and learn to love school and all the opportunities that come with it.

My school does whatever we can to offer extra-curricular activities for our students that we can. I would like to offer my students the chance to record and create their own daily news station. This would teach them to use their public speaking, research, and technology skills while having fun and gaining new experiences. The microphone and tubs in this project will help the students organize and record their segments to help them truly own their work on their news station.
