Bring FOX 12 To Your School

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 DVD player, TV and projector for Powerpoint presentation.
  • Presentation lasts 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • We will only visit each school once per school year.
  • Works best with no more than 100 students.
  • Available for visits generally 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
  • Preschool to High School OK
  • Visit may be aired on our evening newscasts
  • It's been a busy year, and unfortunately we are all booked up for the rest of the 2007-2008 school year.

    Beginning in August, we will put up a new submission form so you can request a visit for the 2008-2009 school year.

    Current Forecast

    KPTV Forecast

    * Cooler, Mainly Dry 4th of July *

    A weather system moving into the Pacific Northwest this morning gives just about all of us a chance of showers. It moves on east this afternoon, ensuring that the grilling and evening fun stays dry.

    After another cool and mostly cloudy day Saturday, warmer and sunny weather returns for the last day of our 3 day weekend.


    First. Live. Local. Weather.
