The camera, microphone, and stand have made a huge difference in the quality of our student news broadcasts. These tools have given our students the opportunity to step into real-world roles as reporters, anchors, and producers, all while boosting their confidence and public speaking skills.\r\n\r\nWith the new equipment, the sound and video quality have improved dramatically. Our students can now be heard clearly, and the broadcasts look more polished and professional. This has made the news program something the whole school looks forward to watching, and it's even encouraged more students to get involved in creating content.\r\n\r\nThe microphone has been a game-changer, especially for our quieter students who needed an extra boost to project their voices. The camera and stand allow us to record steady, high-quality videos, making our news segments feel more like a professional production. We've even started adding graphics and special effects to keep our audience engaged!\r\n\r\nBeyond technical improvements, this project has provided invaluable learning experiences. Our students are learning teamwork, time management, and leadership as they take on different roles to bring the Patriot News to life. They're practicing writing scripts, interviewing staff and students, and covering school events—all of which are giving them skills that will serve them well in the future.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, this program has created a sense of pride in our school community. Seeing themselves on screen has given students a newfound confidence, and they take great pride in sharing important news and stories with their peers.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this possible. Your generosity has turned our school's news program into a meaningful, educational experience that our students will never forget!","fullyFundedDate":1727649442873,"projectUrl":"project/empower-student-voices-though-broadcasti/8431455/","projectTitle":"Empower Student Voices Though Broadcasting","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Fryer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5672909_orig.jpg?crop=947,947,x6,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715868049363","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5672909"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50187","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":443,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":53,"percentWhite":33,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":50187,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Unity Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Unity Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/meriwether-county-school-district/unity-elementary-school/50187"}
