Summary
Clinton Street Elementary teachers and students demonstrated 'Clinton TV,' a student‑run morning announcements program that features music, weather, attendance challenges, 'true or false' segments and student awards.
Clinton Street Elementary students and staff presented 'Clinton TV' to the West Seneca Central School District Board of Education at the March 3 meeting, describing a student‑led announcements program intended to boost engagement and highlight school community achievements.
Teachers said Clinton TV was created to make morning announcements less 'blaring' and more engaging. "We are two general music teachers at Clinton Street Elementary," one presenter said, explaining a monthly patriotic song feature to build community and familiarity. Kindergarten and classroom teachers described recurring segments such as weather, a weekly 'true or false' feature, a 'math minute' and a 'kudos' recognition program that spots students and staff showing the district's six pillars of character.
Staff and students said the program provides voice and leadership opportunities for students while ensuring consistent messaging across classrooms. Board members thanked presenters and approved a small motion of appreciation before moving on to the rest of the agenda.
