My Project

The is the first year KE School has had a morning broadcast since over 20 years ago. We've had lots of fun broadcasting for one quarter so far. Our 5th grade news crew is doing a great job. Our goal is to have different anchors every day, so we can have as many students on the news as we can fit in the school year!

We have all the equipment we need, but we would love to spice it up!

We are asking for a director's chair and clapboard for our student Director. A sound machine would be easy for our students to add a laugh track after a joke, drumroll for exciting announcements, etc. We'd also like props like fun hats, glasses, and leis to add to our segment themes. Your sponsorship would help us keep our news interesting and entertaining!
