Here are five more personal reflections from Super School News alumni.

Abigail M. (participated in 2002)

I was a fifth-grader and this was such an awesome experience! I remember all of our preparations for the broadcast. Everyday at lunch, our news team would write and rehearse and write and rehearse some more, until the big day. It was really neat to find out what made our school so unique. When we got to the PBS station for the taping, all of us were so excited to be on television. I couldn't wait to represent my school and to see how a TV show was made. The friends I made and the lessons I learned are absolutely unforgettable. Thanks Super School News!

James C. (participated in 2007)

It was a lot of fun to work together on a team, to tour the station, and to celebrate afterwards with lunch at Gunther Tooty's.

Jen J. (participated in 1984)

My experience at Super 6 School News inspired me to pursue a career in Television Journalism. Imagine, getting bitten by the reporting bug at the age of 10 and never letting go.

People who wonder how I got my start in the business are always amazed when I tell them about Super 6 School News. As I've moved from state to state and TV station to TV station, it's the time I spent learning and news gathering in 1984 that continues to inspire me.
I remember my Grandpa telling the story of attending an Anniversary party, stopping the festivities and turning on Channel 6 to watch his granddaughter's TV debut. I'm lucky to have that in my memory bank. He never got to see me do the news as an adult.
Thank you Super 6 School News.

Catherine M. (participated in 1995)

I was a very shy fifth grader when I was selected as a student reporter for my school's newscast. I remember being incredibly nervous when the camera started rolling, but I had practiced my lines so many times, it would have been almost impossible to forget them. Participating in the Super School News program was a great experience and a fun way to learn and grow.

Samantha K.

I just remember having so much fun planning for the newscast. My friend Tim and I got to pick our friends to help us. Our teacher Mr. K was awesome with helping us after school with our newscast. I never actually saw our spot on T.V. I also ended up on crutches at the end of the year so I didn't get to go to the dinner. But getting to be on T.V. in the 6th grade is still one of my biggest highlights.
