Propel East – 5th Grade – It’s Cool To Care

In Spring 2013 and as part of a 6-week Creative Arts program focused on radio broadcasting, Propel East 5th graders identified social issues that concerned them. They then researched, wrote and recorded these public service announcements to promote organizations working to address these issues. They also wrote reflections on what they’ve learned.

This project was designed to expose students to people making a difference, career opportunities focused on helping people, and the power of clear writing and speaking as a means of conveying information to others.
