Meet the Salem Hills Newest TV Broadcaster

This is what it says on the page

Travis came home from school the first day so excited! His first period class is TV Broadcasting and he is in the class with his friends Darren and Dakota. They found out that the TV broadcasting is going to be doing the morning announcements this year instead of the student council. So, the three of them volunteered to be the anchor men. He came home and said, “Meet the newest TV anchorman for Salem Hills High School.” On the 3rd day of school (since he has the class on his B days, they had their first opportunity. They also found out that they would be rotating jobs for the first little while to see who was good at what position. Travis was the weather man today. They get to wear 1/2 suits and bow ties that their teacher rounded up for them at the D.I. Travis stood in front of the green screen (literally, they had to tell him to move over because he was right in the middle.) and he gave the weather report. He said it was fun and he volunteered for the joke of the day next time because he said the girl that did it today told the lamest joke ever. Literally, she asked, “Why did the chicken cross the road?” He couldn’t believe she couldn’t come up with anything better than that one. He is pretty excited to get to learn to run the cameras, the tele-prompters, the sound equipment, the lighting equipment and try out all the different roles. They record it during 1st period and then the announcements are shown around the school on all the monitors during 2nd period. He thinks this is going to be one of his favorite classes this year!
