SACC Program Highlights 2007-2008

Eye on the News: Discovery Through the Media

This year SACC launched a new curriculum, Eye on the News: Discovery Through the Media. Children are exploring a variety of media such as newspapers, magazines, TV and the Internet in search of news about their local communities and what's happening around the nation.

Each center has its own Media Center where news is investigated, researched, documented and reported through four news departments: Arts & Culture, Science & Technology, Political Science, and Fitness & Wellness. To "get the scoop" on what's happening at your center, be sure to check the center highlights posted in the parent area.
