Some of our youngest learners had a lot of fun with the people who make the news!
Thanks to Vanessa Kjeldsen at WMTV 15 News and Mike from PBS Wisconsin for sharing your talents and equipment with Bridges students.
Vanessa, who is preparing a story on school lunch, let the students look through her giant camera and try out her microphone.
PBS Wisconsin, was preparing a story for their back-to-school coverage and let one of our students help get the perfect angle.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about how the news is made! Maybe we have some future journalists at Bridges!

Meet Molly Froelich, Art Teacher at Bridges and Grand Ave!
