Rudstrom, teaming up with teachers Ginger Crockett, William Bryson III, and Paul Hamilton, coordinates "The Voice of the Huskies News Show" project. A schoolwide effort, students produce a 30-minute news show consisting of segments created by individual classrooms covering events happening within the school and local community. Students volunteer to act as anchors and introduce the news segments, which are seen live via video-conference broadcast to schools throughout the district. Designed to improve language skills, this fun project helps students gain fluency, vocabulary and clarity in communication, while challenging them to become critical thinkers. Building student self-esteem and school and community pride, the "Voice of the Huskies" project has generated excitement in academic projects and helped involve parents and community members in school events.
