Rafer Johnson Junior High launched its first Media Production and students in Ms. Perkins classroom were given an opportunity for hands-on learning experiences with media production equipment. The Innovation Grant made it possible for the school to purchase digital video cameras, microphones, and staging equipment for the classroom to produce episodes of "News to You". The students enjoyed taking control of projects and joined together to create some powerful documentaries and drafting individual autobiographies that were produced and given to students on DVD's.
