You can probably tell that here at NewsDepth Headquarters, we believe that sharing news and information is important. It helps people make decisions, feel connected to their communities, and learn new things.
We recently caught up with nine fifth graders at Bath Elementary who have the same belief, and they鈥檙e this week鈥檚 A+ Award winners. The Voice of Bath is the team at Bath Elementary, located in Bath, that is in charge of the announcements at the school.
When we met with them, they showed us some of the equipment and technology they use, and some of it is the same as ours! The Voice of Bath edits each episode using Canva and they make them available on demand to teachers on YouTube. They even have QR codes so that people can easily find the announcements.
Ms. Hetman, who supervises this group of aspiring newscasters, told us that each year over 60 students apply, but only a few are chosen. Students are chosen who exemplify good character and students who show respect, responsibility, and problem-solving skills.
Here鈥檚 a big congratulations to the Voice of Bath, for winning this week鈥檚 A+ Award. Maybe in a few years I鈥檒l be co-hosting NewsDepth with one of you! Keep up the great work.
