FNN:  Falcon News Network, is a videotaped daily news show, which will be produced by 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students with the guidance of a teacher.  Students will broadcast the school's news, lunch menu, moment of silence, and pledge to 1200+ students and staff on the school's closed circuit televisions.  At least 28 students will have an opportunity to video tape and be anchors, while students from all classes will have an opportunity to be guest reporters.  The goal of this project is to develop students' ability to organize, communicate, and present ideas and events.  Tapes of all the broadcasts will be made available for viewing, and an evaluation form will be complete by the participants, staff, and by a cross-section of the student body.  The program will begin in August 2001 and end in May 2002.

This program is partially funded by the Phenix City Education Foundation, Inc.
