Victoria Powell

With Powell's winning program, Parkway Elementary School is expanding its "WPKY News" program. The news team has been broadcasting daily since 2006, and now, Powell is adding a weather segment to the newscast. "WPKY News" will construct a weather station in the school courtyard. As a part of the program, the students will use a large-screen monitor to show local and national forecasts. Having a weather segment will improve science and social studies concepts for students by focusing on meteorology and geography. The news team plans to share its programs with a different school across the country each month and upload clips to the Teacher Tube Web site. Connecting with students in a different region will expose the class to a new area without leaving their seats. Powell resides in North Canton.
