In the heart of our school community at Mount Vernon Woods Elementary, a captivating tradition unfolds each morning bringing students, teachers, and staff together in a tapestry of information and camaraderie. The Mount Vernon Woods News Show, brought to life by our talented anchors and news crew, shines as a beacon of connection, communication, and school spirit.

Each morning the news show serves as a cheerful and informative start to our school day. With a strong sense of commitment, our news crew comprised of 5th and 6th grade students presents a range of segments that keep everyone up to date about important school happenings. The anchors exhibit a remarkable blend of enthusiasm, confidence, and responsibility. Their dedication to delivering accurate and engaging content makes every show a delightful experience for viewers of all ages. It is sometimes easy to forget that there is more to the news team than just the anchors who students see on a daily basis. Behind the scenes, crew members work the teleprompter, sound, and audio-visual elements.

Our news show is a medley of segments that cater to various aspects of our school lives. The lunch menu, a highlight for many, is showcased with a dash of excitement and anticipation. The weather segment, a creative touch, transports us to different meteorological scenes, sparking curiosity and discussions about the day's conditions. And of course, the segment we all wait for: important school announcements. From upcoming events to reminders, this segment ensures that we're all on the same page. In addition to these regular segments, special guests often join the anchors for special segments and updates. 

Our news show wouldn't be possible by the unwavering support of Ms. Paul and Mr. Cunningham, our dedicated sponsors, producers, and directors. Their encouragement and guidance serve as the cornerstone of this cherished tradition, providing our news crew with the guidance they need to shine.

Each day as the news show wraps, our anchors take a moment to remind us of the values that define us as a community. Reciting the "Panther Pledge," they reaffirm that we as MVW Panthers are respectful, responsible, and safe—a poignant reminder that echoes through our school halls throughout the day.

Mount Vernon Woods News Show isn't just a series of segments; it's a journey that binds us together. Through the efforts of our talented news crew, the guidance of Ms. Paul and Mr. Cunningham, and the values echoed in the Panther Pledge, this tradition nurtures a sense of unity, curiosity, and pride within our school community. Each morning, as we tune in, we're reminded that the magic of the news show isn't just on the screen—it's a part of us, shaping our days and fostering connections that last far beyond the morning bell.
