HS Students Attend University of Hartford Media Day

This month a majority of our high school students attended an out of state basketball tournament, missing two days of school. This provided the perfect opportunity to provide extension and enrichment opportunities for the remaining students.

On Thursday, the students participated in a variety of on-site enrichment opportunities organized by our teachers. Students created colorful poetry and political cartoons.  A few favorite activities included a hydraulics lab and a few interactive history games! (And of course, a chance to order out for lunch!)

On Friday, the students attended the University of Hartford School of Communication Media Day.  The morning was full of hands-on workshops which allowed the students to explore a variety of production topics such as lighting, podcasting, and even creating their own news broadcast! After lunch, a UHart student took us on a guided tour of the campus. Our students asked some great questions and learned about things they are looking for (or not looking for) in their future college.

It was a great way to spend two days!
