Millridge: FOX 8 Cool School!

Today Alan appeared on FOX 8 News during the 6am and 4pm hours!  He was representing Millridge–this week’s FOX 8 “Cool School of the Week.”  This was his third time on television — first time not related to the Indians or Cavs. 🙂

Millridge earned the featured spot of the week by earning 53% of the vote in last week’s online voting competition against Forestlawn Elementary School in Sheffield (40%) and Watson Elementary School in Massillon (7%).  Voting ran between Oct. 8 and 11, and Millridge was announced as the winner during the 6am hour of FOX 8 News on Oct. 11.

Yesterday the kids were asked to wear their House shirts to school for the filming of the FOX 8 News segment.  Mrs. Harris’ class took a photo with their Mayfield High School mentors, just prior to heading to the gym for filming.

Millridge’s 5th Grade ambassadors made and held the official FOX 8 welcome sign.

Students from each grade held signs representing each House.  Alan got picked by his art teacher to hold the Blue sign!  He was so happy that he got picked, which enabled him to get some air time!

At the end of the week, Alan proudly wrote about his good fortune in his weekly journal!

Student of the Month

Congrats to Alan, the student of the month representative from Mrs. Russo’s class for November!  Alan, along with the other five first grade winners, was invited to lunch with the principal, as his reward.

I was thrilled to see Alan’s smiling face come through on my Twitter timeline while at work this afternoon. Best post I’ve ever seen on social media. 🙂
