Teachers, are you looking for a speaker to come to your class and talk about the weather or working at a television station?
FOX 12 would like to bring our "FIRST. LIVE. LOCAL." weather team to your school. FOX 12 welcomes the opportunity to interact with the community, especially with students in northwest Oregon and southwest Washington.
Bringing FOX 12 to your classroom presents your students with an opportunity to learn about TV weather forecasting, fun weather facts, as well as other specific weather elements from meteorologists who live weather daily. Plus your students get a close-up look "behind the scenes" at FOX 12.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
We'll need a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. We supply the laptop.
Presentation lasts about 45 minutes.
We will only visit each school once per school year.
Invite as many students as you want, as long as they can hear us and you have a big room.
Available for visits generally 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., depending on the day and meteorologist.
Preschool to High School OK
Visit may be aired (photos or video) on our evening newscasts
Generally, we stay within 30 miles of Portland
We are not usually available on Fridays
WE’RE SORRY, BUT WE ARE FULLY BOOKED FOR THE 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR. CHECK BACK AGAIN IN AUGUST TO SCHEDULE FOR NEXT YEAR.
