Jefferson Elementary kicked off its live TJTV morning announcements on September 8, bringing a fresh and engaging start to each school day. 

This year’s team includes eight students with three returning members and five newcomers: Malek, Ava, Edin, Rashi, Mason, Mia, Peyton and Amila. The students run the TJTV studio both behind-the-scenes and in front of the microphone. They manage everything from admitting teachers into the Zoom meeting to operating the teleprompter. Each morning two students take turns delivering the announcements, which includes the Pledge of Allegiance, the Jefferson Elementary pledge, upcoming events, the weather report, the lunch menu, a fun fact, a joke and an inspirational quote.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are especially exciting for TJTV with trivia days! Students read a trivia question and teachers call into the studio to provide the correct answers. Beyond the daily announcements, the students play an active role throughout the year by assisting with special events, making TJTV a vital part of the school community and fostering student involvement and leadership.
