Check out this cinematic version of a story written by one of East Pike's Enrichment Support students last year.  This was our first experience using WeVideo and we hope you like it!  We will be creating many more WeVideos this year...stay tuned for a puppet show in early October.  Caiden and Andrew are designing an epic Alien and Astronaut tale to share with the world!

About the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps
Members of the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps cover news stories for scholastic.com/news and select Scholastic classroom magazines. The program is open to all students ages 10-14 with a desire to be a journalist. The selection of Kid Reporters is based on writing ability, interviewing skills, and attention to detail.

This year Horace Mann Enrichment Support students will be creating applications in hopes of being chosen to serve on the News Kids PRESS CORPS for Scholastic. 

 A letter is coming home today with some brainstorming prompts to get the students' ideas flowing.  

Applications will be postmarked by September 25, 2015.  We have many talented writers- maybe one of our own will be selected for the News Kids PRESS CORPS!
