NNPS-TV recently welcomed kindergartners to the station for a tour. Most tours are for elementary school students and above, but Producer Nik Long agreed to host the students from Marshall Early Learning Center because of what they are learning about in class.

 

The next School Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. It will be broadcast live on NNPS-TV (Cox Channel 47/Verizon FiOS Channel 17) and on the Web at nnpstv.com. NNPS-TV's live stream is also available on Roku and Apple TV. On-demand video will be available later on YouTube and the NNPS-TV video site. The meeting will be recorded and re-played at later dates as well.  

Telecom grad and 'Fuzion Fitness' host Alexis Perkins does not slow down or stop moving. For the past eight or so years, the energetic fitness enthusiast has taught Zumba® at OneLife Fitness, hosted NNPS-TV's 30-minute workout show, traveled internationally to promote fitness, held a "Zumbathon®" fundraiser for breast cancer research, coordinated the LOVE Fest dance fitness event, and wrote a book, much of which was done while holding down a job in the television industry and raising a son.  

Telecom students competed at the SkillsUSA District 4 Leadership and Skills Conference on February 28 at New Horizons Regional Education Center in Hampton.

 

In mid-January, NNPS-TV finalized their Apple TV channel and launched it, their second OTT ("over-the-top") TV channel. Over the top means using the internet instead of cable to view movies, TV shows, and live broadcasts. The NNPS-TV Roku channel has been live for one year.

 

The NNPS-TV production team is known for going wherever they must to capture video of the many different ways NNPS students learn and grow.  

Trying out new gadgets that improve production quality and help tell the NNPS story is something the NNPS-TV production team loves to do. These devices and other equipment help bring out the team's creativity and improve their final product by allowing them to get shots that otherwise would not be possible.  

The NNPS-TV production team has just finished shooting and producing a new Elementary Engineering Design Challenge "intro video," this time working with Verizon Wireless on the "Tower Power" challenge.
