Each month WHRO produces a 30 minute magazine program for educators called School Talk Monthly. This national award winning program features video clips and Internet sites for teachers to use, which are correlated to Virginia Standards of Learning. One-on-one interviews with outstanding educators and students, on-location segments highlighting exciting school projects and activities and upcoming professional development events are also featured.
Each month four local schools (elementary, middle, high, and independent) are recognized as Schools of the Month. Schools are selected based on academic achievement or for community service activities. WHRO staff reviews school websites each month to determine the selections. Yorktown Middle School has been selected for the January 2008 program. The program recognized the sixteen YMS students who made the District 8 Middle School Chorus. Congratulations Mrs. Mann and the YMS Chorus.
The program airs the first and third Friday from 1:30-2:00 pm and the first and third Sunday from 3:00-3:30 pm September-May on WHRO-TV. You can also view School Talk online via video streaming at the WHRO website, www.schooltalk.org.
