Are you interested in broadcasting, video production, or digital design? The Saunders Audio/Video (A/V) Club is looking for creative and motivated Spartans to join and help grow our school’s student production crew. Our primary goal is to continue developing the Spartan Nation Newscast into a meaningful part of the Saunders school day—one that is entirely student-driven and student-managed. As the program grows, members will also explore additional projects, including creating digital content and covering school events.
Students will gain hands-on experience with:
Black Magic ATEM Software Control – for video and audio switching
Canva – for graphic design and visual storytelling
Mackie Audio Mixer – Audio Control
YouTube – for publishing and sharing content with the world
Club members will rotate through and learn a variety of roles, including:
Anchors – Present the news on camera
Directors – Manage the production flow
Production Crew – Handle cameras, sound, and editing
We will cap at twenty 7th and 8th graders for most of the year, but will expand for 6th graders in Quarter 4.
Joining the Club
New 8th graders can join during Quarter 1 & 2
New 7th graders can join during Quarter 3 & 4
6th graders can join during Quarter 4
Applications will be available with Mr. Simpson in the Library.
Meeting Information
Our club is a little bit different – The Spartan Newscast produces a live broadcast every morning, so we will meet every school day. We’ll start at 8am with the goal of putting out an 8:20 Broadcast. Students arriving at school after 8am should report as soon as possible. We will also need to meet after school occasionally, and those meetings will be announced and scheduled ahead of time. After school activity buses are available for students who have Saunders as a base school.
