The ‘Weevil Weekly’ gives students a media experience by giving updates, exclusive interviews, and the happenings going on at school. You can check for updates on the Seale Junior High Facebook page here .
The program is part of the theatre arts class at Seale Junior High, where students also learn script writing, plays, and improv. The Weevil Weekly is shot once a week as students rotate between various roles. This includes being co-hosts on camera, the stage crew, program directors, and audience members.
“They serve as reporters, because they actually report to us what’s going on in the school, what games, what’s the score, just to keep people informed,” said Polo Paredez, the organizer of the program.
