| “The Northside” is a newsmagazine show produced by Community Middle School
8th graders and Freshmen and Sophomores from High School North (HSN). The
show features stories from events happening at both Community & HSN. The
CMS stories have included the AMIGOS “March of Fashion” fashion show, Teen
Zone nights, and the 8th grade girls basketball team who completed their
second straight season undefeated.
The purpose of the cable program is to highlight special events,
activities, and people recognitions taking place at either Community Middle
School or High School North. Mr. Lepore, Community’s 8th Grade TV
Production & 7th Grade Journalism teacher serves as the executive producer
of the show, and the students serve as the producers, directors, camera
people, sound people, and other crew members for the production of the
show. In addition to producing, the students conduct interviews, write, and
edit the stories included in each broadcast.
“The Northside” is a natural extension and application of the TV Production
and Broadcast Writing electives that students take at both Community Middle
School and High School North. Students involved in the production of this
cable program use the writing skills and video/television production
knowledge they have acquired from the classes in order to produce a quality
television program for their community.
The Community Middle School PTSA has proudly supported Mr. Lepore and his
students in the past by awarding his department Mini Grants to fund various
equipment purchases. More information about the Mini Grant Program is
available on this website.
“The Northside can be viewed on one of two cable channels now serve the
residents of Plainsboro and West Windsor Townships: Channel 3: Plainsboro
Township and Channel 27: West Windsor Township. | |
