More from our friends at The Ax Media!

We just watched the December show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-oHFvKQx74) and it's clear our kids have what it takes to win at the Student Television Network Convention next month. Thank you to all those who've donated to help cover entry fees—to learn more and support these amazing students visit: https://givebutter.com/9QDr3n.

This February, our staff is traveling to Tampa, Florida, to participate in Student Television Network.

Students will attend pro sessions and workshops to learn from industry professionals, compete with other students from leading programs around the country, network with colleges, and much more.

This is an expensive undertaking, and our staff needs your help to get to Tampa. You can donate to support the students on our Givebutter: https://givebutter.com/9QDr3n
