Student News You Can Use

Help me give my students new microphones, mic cables, notebooks, pens, dry erase markers, and file folders to help us create and organize our new student news broadcast.

My Project

Next year, we will start a student news crew. Students will create morning announcements and other stories using various forms of media. We will record videos and podcasts, as well as create paper media resources like newsletters and posters.

Our students have important stories to tell.

The news crew will share important events, engaging lessons, and stories from our staff, students, and community. All of these will increase student ownership and allow their voices to be heard. We want our students to know the power of the voices and understand their ability to create positive change. With your help, my curious, witty, sharp-as-nails students, can share their very important insights with the world.

The requested microphones can be used for videos and podcasts. The file folders. notebooks, pens, and dry erase markers will help us to stay organized to ensure we do not miss any important stories.
