From “what’s a B-roll?” to “let’s storyboard that,” Our SGA + Middle School Ambassadors teamed up with Root Branch Media Group to learn how to pitch ideas, plan a content calendar, and critique media like pros. Real-world skills they’ll use beyond school: critical media analysis, ethical posting, and project management. Parents + partners, get ready for student-led features on school life, local heroes, and STEM spotlights. 📲🔔 #MediaLiteracy #DigitalCitizenship #BaltimoreEducation
