Student Ambassadors record radio spot

By Sue Brown, Director of Marketing and Community Relations

Good Shepherd Catholic School Student Ambassadors, Eli W., Joe B. and AnnaLeigh K. took what they learned in the fall 2011 Student Ambassador training workshop to the next level by recording their own radio spot on J 98 The Boot, a country station that operates out of Festus and Farmington.

After a tour of the station, Eli, Joe and AnnaLeigh each recorded the 30-second spot which they had written and delivered at the training. 

Good Shepherd Principal Mariann Jones said, “It was a great experience for all of us.  The students recorded several takes, and the technician created the end product with us in the studio. Just this afternoon, I heard Eli's spot on the radio.  It was very cool!”
