JFK Media Center Blog!

Happy Monday, everybody!

Did you know that the JFK Morning News is part of a larger JFK Media Center? It is! In the past students have made podcasts which we have also put as videos on our YouTube channel, and soon we will be introducing sports broadcasts and movie reviews and other similar things!

All of our videos are available on our YouTube page. We know that students are not able to access YouTube at school, so we have also put all of our videos on our new JFK Media Center Blog!

School Play audition!

Hi everyone! Auditions for the school play, Myth-Understood, are coming up on Wednesday, October 22 and Thursday, October 23.

This year we're asking students to sign up for a preferred day. Please fill out this form to sign up! We'll let you know which day you're assigned to.

We're also asking students and their caregivers to sign a contract agreeing to the expectations for participation. There are copies of the contract near the cafetorium, or you can ask Ms. Gilana or Miss Caron.

Joy Jar!

Participate in the JFK Joy Jar! The morning news is asking people to tell us about the things that are bringing them joy, good experiences they've had, and so forth. You can either submit them through THIS FORM or write them on a slip of paper and put it into the Joy Jar in the library! Joy Jar contributions will be read out on the morning news during Mindfulness Monday!
