Rootz is back at Vanguard High School for a second year!
Vanguard is
one of the six schools located in the Julia Roberts complex on the
upper east side of Manhattan. Working with Vanguard veteran teacher
Adrienne Almeida, our weekly Wednesday class runs almost two hours;
plenty of time to include both media literacy and radio production
activities.
With a class of 9 students we are digging in deep;
exploring media at its roots and learning to create our own.
We are
looking forward to a year of exciting discussions and creative story
telling. We also have implemented an in-school approach to our
each-one, teach-one model, with the students from last year's Radio
Rootz class serving as mentors to this year's group. The experienced
students gain class credit and the new students get the benefit of peer
learning and support.

Spanish Harlem, this upcoming unsigned artist has a unique style all of
his own. Fusing together the styles of reggae and techno with pop and
Indian influences, JAYRE's music stands out above the rest.
Since the age of 13, JAYRE has had a passion and desire for singing
and dancing, creating an eclectic style of dance to a very different
genre of music. His dedication and overall essence will surely one day
make him a force to be reckoned with.
