Today I had the opportunity to address a group of students at Ruskin Elementary. 

I explained to them the roles of different professions within the newspaper business and later did an exercise with them where six volunteers ‘role played’ as Editors, Reporters, Photographers, etc.  They had to browse thru today’s Tampa Tribune and identify a sample of what their role in making the paper was.  They were very inquisitive as to how the paper was produced, what each person did and even how much money each position made!

All in all I enjoyed very much talking to this group of third graders.  I found them to be smart, well behaved and best of all respectful of our contribution.

I am a Community and Family Liaison at Clearview Elementary School and I am in charge of the Great American Teach In this year. I read the articles that were posted about past speakers and their experiences, and was moved. If any past speakers would like to speak at Clearview, please let me know. I would love to have you. Or, if you have never volunteered, please feel free to call or email me in regards to any questions that you might have. 727-570-3059
