And we’re off. FSPA District 3 has begun. Hundreds of student #journalists have gathered at DaytonaState College to learn from the best and strengthen their programs!

We attended the annual FSPA District 3 Workshop in Daytona today and learned that we earned an All-Florida for our Back to School Episode!

Today's district 3 resulted in a new D3 TOY, Joseph Winters from Four Corners Upper School, D3 student rep winner Olivia Byrd from Viera High School and D3 Co-directors, Callie Williams and Courtney Hanks. Congratulations! #fspad3

Teaching was something I'd never done before. So, I gotta say, I was a little nervous as the multimedia classroom started overflowing with budding journalists. (That's me in the shadow, trying not to look unnerved before class.)

But the kids of FSPA District 3 were *awesome* as I explained how to find news stories and make them their own. They were engaged, curious (as all great journos should be) and asked interesting and creative questions - which made this newbie feel very much at ease. #ThankYou

Red Huber presented photography lessons from his impactful career, but he also shared his passion for student journalism and teaching the next generation of journalists. We walked away moved by his talent and excited to tackle our next projects by creating trust with our subjects

After sessions ended and brains were full, students shared in each other's successes in the fall digital contest winner announcements, taking their achievements back to their schools.

16 members of VTV’s Senior Staff attended the 2019 Fall FSPA today. They won 4 awards for their contest submissions, and VTV’s Olivia Byrd was named the District 3 Student Representative. Join us in congratulating this wonderful group for their hard work and for representing VHS!
