Student Qualifications
Students are selected at the end of fourth grade. Each student has to apply for News Crew and highlight their skills and experiences, just like a job application. In the past, students created videos to apply for on-air positions or create a slide deck to showcase their technological skills. Due to time constraints, News Crew students get recommendations from staff.
Student Ownership
Students run the show! After the first couple meetings, students take charge. They come in and prep a script, get photos for backdrops and rehearse the broadcast. They’re independent and take ownership of each show. It’s a great way to communicate important and fun information for the rest of our school.
