Misti Sikes is the media specialist at K.B.
Sutton, Her project, with a goal of $1,285,
was to give her students in grades 3-5 a
professional video camera to keep the
school community interested in their new
reporting. The Knights TV news crew re-
cords, edits and produces voice recordings
for a week news program. There are about
20 children on the crew. The video camera
will let them be roving reporters getting
comfortable in front of the camera as they
visit different grade levels and record inter-
five at ACE in Macon and one at Pike
County High School.
"SONIC fans who love teachers respond-
ed incredibly during Teacher Appreciation
Month and we were delighted to support
3,937 teachers and their students across
the country," said Christi Woodworth, vice
president of public relations for SONIC.
"Each year, teachers spend hundreds of
their own dollars to support their stu-
dents, and with Limeades for Learning,
SONIC and our fans made that burden a
bit lighter. We celebrate and thank teachers
for the incredible work they do to bring
learning to life in creative and fun ways for
their students."
