Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

For the first time ever we are planning to have a Broadcast and Communications Class! This class will allow students to development real professional skills within the Communications Field. We are so excited for this class as it will develop their communications skills and expose them to possible careers in the Media and Communications Industry.

In addition to the Youtube show, students will be interviewing other students, faculty members, and community members.

Students will also learn how to create and produce promotional videos that will highlight the programs and people within school community and the surrounding community!

WE NEED YOUR HELP AS WE BUILD A FILM STUDIO FOR THIS CLASS. WE NEED LIGHTS, CURTAINS, AND YOUR ACTIONS!
