Viking News: Daily Bulletin

Whether it’s a Red Ribbon Week skit reminding viewers of the dangers of substance abuse, or a bulletin of an upcoming school spirit week theme or activity, LaBrae’s Viking News Network (VNN) has raised the high school’s daily information system a notch above what many might expect from their morning announcements.

Each day, the core group of five students gather in Erin Fee’s classroom to create and produce LaBrae High School’s morning announcements. But they don’t simply read from a script in front of a green screen. They entertain by acting out the information as they inform.

“It really challenges them to take an announcement, create a script and turn it into a story that relays that information in a creative way to viewers,” Fee explained.

Fee started the VNN production group by recruiting some of the students in her Spanish class. The VNN staff recently grew to include other students when the production group invited their classmates to audition.
