Did you know that Reed has
it’s own TV Show? Each “D” day, and on
certain special days, our very own students start the day with a “Reed TV”
broadcast.
Reed TV consists of
different classrooms leading the Pledge of Allegiance and Panther PRIDE
Pledge. Then students report the lunch
choices, local weather, and popular sports stories.
Reed TV also has its
headline stories and special interviews.
Already, broadcasts have included interviews with Ladue School District
Superintendent, Dr. Jahnke, Ladue Mayor, Nancy Spewak, Ladue Chief of Police,
Chief Rich Wooten, Lt. Fireman Marcus Jones, and many others. Reed
TV is also been an effective tool to educate and disseminate information about
other school initiatives, such as Veteran’s Day, Fire Safety, STARR Teams, and
Reed Families.
Students are responsible for
developing all parts of the broadcasts.
Students write the scripts, develop the questions, choose the backdrops
for the green screen, and even record the broadcasts. They are learning a lot
of skills. Our young news team is
learning speaking, research, writing, presentation, and technology skills.
Of course, none of this
would be possible without Jill Badalamenti, Technology Integration Coach, Julie
Stone, Librarian, and the LEF, Ladue Education Foundation (http://www.laduefoundation.org/). Mrs. Badalamenti submitted and was awarded a
grant from the LEF last year. Each week,
Mrs. Stone and Mrs. Badalamenti volunteer their time each week to sponsor and
assist our young news team.
