Students at Theiss produce a live broadcast show for our morning announcements. Activities such as the pledge, moment of silence, weather report, science experiments, United Streaming videos, school news, singing and “Words of Wisdom “ are featured each day. Our Tiger Power Newscast Team (TPNT ) goes live each morning at 8:20 with fifth grade students anchoring the production. All fifth grade students are invited to participate. The only requirement is that they learn to present information to a large listening audience, with a smile on their face. Notable benefits are an increase of confidence, school pride, and participation. Students report the broadcast is “cool” because of the use of technology and fifth graders in every production.

“Words of Wisdom”, our closing piece, is a series of messages created to help students make better choices. Topics such as respecting differences, accepting diversity, making good choices, and overcome obstacles are some examples. Students are provided with a quote by a well-known person followed by a power point slide summarizing the message.

Once you see our Tiger Power Newscast Team you will never go back to the network morning news. Our closing “Make it a great day or not. The choice is yours...” is a great message for all of our Theiss listeners.
Go Tigers!!

Mr. Chiu explained the inventions he created and the patents awarded. Students and staff members at Theiss viewed these awards and were fortunate to see an official patent. Thank you Mr.Chiu!
