Intermediate students audition and then, with the help of Mrs. Cottam, run school news that includes important daily information such as birthdays, lunch, and upcoming events. Any student in the school is allowed to submit a video for special segments, allowing a schoolwide interest and project-based learning approach to digital storytelling.

STLP is for the whole school, and doesn’t just happen during STLP club, but whenever students have time to create. We welcome all students to participate, and will work with in-school judges to pick the top two in each category to progress to our statewide judging. I love the creativity, real-world problem solving, academic growth, and confidence that comes when a student is willing to participate in STLP.

There are so many hands-on tools to use during class time. Please check out our slideshow to see some examples of past projects and activities.
