“AJ” Adams

Adams’ innovative teaching idea, “Student Produced Announcements,” will use the Voya Unsung Heroes grant to purchase equipment to support the video production of school-wide announcements and activities by students. An iPad and a compatible teleprompter will be purchased so that the students’ productions are more professional. The student-produced announcements will include promoting local events with commercial-style segments; raising awareness about community issues with public service announcement-style segments; promoting literacy through their Reading Rainbow book review segments; and celebrating student achievements from around the campus.
