The two schools at the KIPP Walden Campus are a mix of students with diverse backgrounds and 29 different languages spoken.. A Denver Public School public charter school campus that serves students in the Green Valley Ranch and Montbello neighborhoods from pre-kindergarten through high school. The campus is a mix of students from diverse backgrounds where 29 different languages are spoken.
“Community Update started as just, ‘What’s another way that we can reach our families’,” said Jeremy Mullet, assistant principal of KIPP Northeast Denver Middle School. “We sent all the emails and different messaging apps, but I thought we need some sort of video way, some sort of news show type thing that would be fun.”
The weekly show is hosted by 5th graders Braydon Fields and Donovan Yeboh who come up with fun segments to connect with their classmates. Both met each other on the campus in kindergarten and feel it’s important to help get information out over the airwaves. The show combines fun with valuable information that parents might miss. Teachers and administrators also make appearances in segments of the show to let parents know their children are in a safe space.
