Magnet presentation. Uh, I'm going to ask Mr. Manning to come up and introduce the staff and students. Before he does, um, I just want to give the the magnet a little plug. we started this um this is our most recent addition in terms of
magnet programs and what it has done as well of if not better than any other magnet program in the district is Mr. Thomas and his students live in Hamilton Township and I know that's going to be a large part of what he talks about. But in when you in terms of a perfect
example of what a program can do, Davies actually reconfigured their entire middle school media program to feed into this. So what the kids are doing at Davies and how the teachers are prepping the kids are directly in line to walk into this building and be successful in
this program. So, as they're walking through it, I just wanted to make sure everybody kind of had that background. This is the newest program and it actually has the best connections already in terms of relationships with with our constituent schools. So, Mr. Manning,
>> um I think one of the things that I said earlier program committee was this was the first year too that our digital communications magnet actually has a full session of in its ninth grade class uh and scheduled out for next year. We have another full section coming in for
next year's freshman class. So, I think that what you're going to see in this presentation is some of the progress that that our kids have made over the last few years, but I anticipate too that we're going to continue to grow exponentially just because of the number of kids that we're going to have in the
program for the next the next couple years. So with that Thomas kids first of all thank you for having us here for you. I was asked to give you guys an update on this program
kind of show you what we've accomplished and how far we've come. We have about 22 students now this year and the same exponential growth in terms of enrollment in parts of our collaboration
district. uh Hamilton Township has been very gracious working with us and you guys have granted us, you know, just endless opportunities to be able to go out and connect to these organizations and and to also to grow opportunities
for our students here in the building. So those three words, you know, I think really sum up our program growth, creativity and community. So that's really something that we strive to push forward this four years ago. I know we're going to graduate program. I'm
really proud. Um I I don't want to sit here and just kind of read off the slides out. I will tell you that I am super proud of all of the things that we've done not only this year but over the course of four years. This is just like a quick snapshot of everything that we did this year. I I can pull up, but
um these are kind of the big things, you know, we really want to try to branch out and give kids the opportunity to not only take video and audio production skills, um but to to branch out beyond that and hopefully prepare these guys for
whatever it is that whether that is communication, social media, most likely um you know, we got some kids on radio this year as part of our internship. Um we've built internships with police department
society which I talk about here we really promoted I would say majority of our content social media super well and we got a lot of attention from students who were younger that
again super gracious all the opportunities that we uh I'm super proud of all the stuff that we've done you know just this former student broadcast. We go out
of August till now. We just recently had day ceremony right down the road church. We've been there and we also worked with our rich program video and photo shoot.
just an immense amount of feedback from the staff club and student club and they felt like celebrities. So that was for us to be a part of that um road safety program which I talked to you guys back in November about. I guess uh we've come a long long way since November making
some progress out in the community. So that's all part of the magnitudes that we have in our program that dedication and wanting to be a part of that part you know that again 23 students like that
more to as we get to the end of the school year going forward have more certification test that taken out into a career whether it's play or radio or But um these are organized right from
2023 up until now in just a couple weeks. So we are hoping to again increase that awareness increase that program experience out and uh hopefully get more students like Jo. >> Hi my name is Ka. I am a senior c my
fourth year in the native program. Um, I came to Orest not really knowing what I wanted to do like after college. I mean, after high school and going to college, I knew I wanted to go to college. I didn't know for what. That was kind of
stressing me out. So, when I was taking my classes, I saw this media class and I was like, "Oh, this sounds fun." I've always like enjoyed making um little film projects as my book and this magnet program, the first year
class like all the different like parts of media and communication that there is. I realized that this is definitely
