Listen to these kids

These from the prize winning Jere Baxter students. Why these aren't playing on Nashville TV stations school mornings is a mystery. They deserve more airplay to be sure.

Dropout: Future Lost
From TeacherTube.com

Dropout: Future Lost is a Public Service Announcement designed to look like a horror movie trailer albeit slightly tongue-in-cheek. This video was the 2006 Jere Baxter Middle School entry for the Panasonic Kid Witness News (KWN) program in the Public Service Announcement (PSA) Category. This video was awarded the KWN New Vision Award Technical Award for Sound. Jere Baxter is an inner-city school located in Nashville, Tennessee. The group was sponsored by Mr. Sam Frey. For winning the New Vision award, Mr. Frey was able to take two students on an all-expenses paid to New York/ New Jersey for the awards show sponsored by Panasonic. This video was also entered into the Tennessee eTales contest and won one of the awards given to teachers.
