Claxton students present Spanish and English news
The students shared this segment called “Cougar Corner” with the Anderson County Board of Education recently.
Using a grant and help from Anderson County Television’s Ryan Sutton, the school put together a morning news-style broadcast including the Pledge of Allegiance and announcements.
CES academic coach Jennifer Rodabaugh spoke about the program recently to the Anderson County Board of Education.
“We put together some of the things we wanted to showcase during the morning’s news, and then we realized there were some other things missing,” she said. “We have quite a few students on the Claxton campus who are Spanish-speaking students,” she said, adding that Spanish-speaking staff were able to help with translations, allowing for a bilingual program.
The example of Cougar Corner that the Board of Education watched at its September meeting began with the song “Everywhere you Look” by Jesse Frederick, famous as the theme from “Full House.”
