Advanced TV Production Field Trip


On Thursday, October 27th the Advanced TV Production class took a field trip to All About Animals in Warren. We were able to tour the facility and learn about what they do, in order to help them with our Service Learning Project called PAWS. PAWS stands for Promoting Academics with Service and allows our students to experience real-world application of skills they are learning in class in order to help out their own community. Due to the incredible problem with stray and feral cats and dogs in the Warren community, Fitzgerald staff has chosen this organization to donate their service to.

Advanced TV Production students will be creating Public Service Announcements, filming workshops at the clinic, and helping out with video services in any way the clinic needs. This pioneer project has inspired the students to create motivational music videos, filled with facts about Warren and Detroit's stray and feral animal problem. These videos will be played on the Fitz News Show to help inspire other students to join the PAWS program and also to educate our own community. Check out the pictures from our trip!






We will post updates of our projects throughout the year. What ways do you think you would like to participate? What do you think of the PAWS project? How can Fitzgerald help? What other organizations should we team up with in the future? Leave me a comment!!!

I think this was a great idea and our school should do more to help with other organizations as well to help promote what they are doing.
