BMS Receives Grant for a Middle School Television Network

Posted Date: 09/18/2020

Deana Sain, library media specialist at BMS, had been looking to start a YouTube channel for the middle school since January of this year.  Working with our Board of Education, the funding was ready and then COVID-19 happened.  Schools closed down in March and everything was put on hold. 

Luckily, in July, the county received funding from the State of TN for middle school students interested in technology.  With more money available, Sain was able to expand her original idea of the BMS channel and offer it to all the schools in the county with 7th and 8th graders. “We are grateful for the effort put forth by Mayor Sain and Carly Weems to secure funding for our project.”  

 “We are thrilled to be able to include the entire county in the project.  Working through the librarians,each school will have their own producers, editors, copywriters, and videographers.  They will come together to produce videos showing what is happening in their middle school.  We  look forward to creating something specifically for middle school students,” Sain explained.
