We now have a Photojournalism class 
here at P.S. 316. Mr. Terrance Carney 
is 
the director of this program. Mr. 
Carney 
comes to us with an extensive 
background 
in journalism.  In this program the 
children conduct interviews, research 
projects, create their own writings and 
take pictures with digital cameras.

     The children have already 
published 
one edition of the school newspaper and 
two more are expected during the year. 
In 
addition, a school magazine will be 
published by the children under the 
direction of Mr. Carney.

     The children can be seen roving 
around the school hunting down subjects 
and scenes that catch their eye.Their 
pictures are in display in room 203 as 
well as on bulletin boards and as 
screen 
savers on the computers. 

     We now have seven classrooms that 
each have four new Imac computers and a 
printer. This is due to the efforts of 
our City Council and Congressman Major 
Owens. The computers came loaded with 
software and are ready for the Internet 
when the whole school will be wired for 
Internet access. Mr Russeel’s room is 
already hooked up to the Internet and 
the 
children have been surfing the net for 
information.

     Mr. Louis Perego and Skyline 
Communities have returned to the school 
for another exciting video project. 
After 
our video under Mr. Perego’s direction 
won awards and aired on HBO Family 
Channel we were very excited to invite 
Mr. Perego back for a return visit. He 
just finished filming the new video 
which 
is set in the future. We anxiously 
await 
the final project.
