Middle school students showcase 35-year "Good Morning Ross Middle School" video program
Summary
Students and advisors presented a short video and described Good Morning Ross Middle School, a weekly student-run broadcast program started in 1991 that teaches production roles and has notable alumni in broadcasting.
Students from Ross Middle School presented a short video and an overview of Good Morning Ross Middle School (GMRMS), a weekly student-run video program that the presenters said began in 1991.
Jason Rettinger introduced the group, and Chris Mills, who said he has been with the program for 25 years, brought several students to describe roles and processes. Student presenters identified themselves and explained their duties: "Hello, I am Gabriel Wilkinson. I am one of the interviewers for seventh grade," Gabriel said. Other students described anchors, reporters, camera operators and editors and said the show is posted weekly to YouTube and provides students hands-on experience with broadcasting roles.
Presenters noted several alumni who moved into television and entertainment careers; the students described routine segments such as a lost-and-found feature and a weekly "motto lotto" that awards students for positive behavior. Board members thanked the students and said they appreciated seeing the program continue to engage students with media and communications skills.
The board offered verbal thanks and some nostalgia for the program; no formal action was required.
