My Project

I love my students' enthusiasm for learning and their creative spirit. Professional video lighting will significantly enhance their learning experience by allowing them to produce high-quality content for Spartan News.

The video lighting will make a difference by improving the visual quality of our news episodes, making them more engaging for viewers.

Our goal for this project is to create a professional news program that keeps our staff, students, and community members updated and connected.

What makes my students special is their dedication to excellence and their eagerness to share important information with others. They are a talented group who deserve the best tools to showcase their skills and contribute meaningfully to our school community.
