WDPS Little Tornadoes

The Fall 2024-25 Little Tornadoes Club is Back in Business!

This year’s club, run by Mrs. Owen & Mrs. McNally, is facilitated by students from HF’s NEW Multimedia Production Academy! As part of our new CTE-Media Pathway, students engage in Work-based learning activities like their “Internship Experience” field trips to run the tech side of the Little Tornadoes Club. Then, the HS students edit the videos that you see here and that are often posted to Parent Square.

High School Students Partner with The Little Tornadoes for an “Internship Experience”

This year we’ve established the Little Tornadoes “Internship Experience” as a pilot program for future job shadows and internships that will be a part of next year’s Harborfields CTE-Media Pathway Program: The Harborfields Multi-Media Production Academy.

High School Advanced Broadcast Students start their day at Washington Drive Primary School working with Little Tornadoes Advisor, Melissa Own, and Principal, Kathy McNally, along with the second grade students to film news segments during the bi-weekly Little Tornadoes Club Meetings. The high school media students then, transfer the clips to our HS computer network to be edited in Adobe Premiere.

Morning Show Pilot Program and Test Streams

WDPS Morning Show!

We are working to create a daily morning show at Washington Drive Primary School where students will report on the daily happenings at WDPS, including the weather, wellness tips, and so much more!

“In 4 Minutes We’ll Give You the School!”

The Little Tornadoes’ News program is a collaborative program between Washington Drive Primary School and Harborfields HS. Under the guidance of Principal, Kathryn McNally and Little Tornadoes Club Advisor, Melissa Owen, students in WDPS film segments for their news program. The files are then shared with Harborfields High School’s Tornado News Team. Tornado News students in the Intro to Production, Mass Media, or Broadcast Journalism classes then edit and post the videos.
