A new year of KIDS-4 is just around the corner! KIDS-4 is an after-school media production program run by the Sun Prairie Media Center designed for SPASD students in 4th through 8th grade. KIDS-4 “crews” start in mid-October and will run through the end of April. KIDS-4 Registration for the 2020-2021 crew year opens on August 1. Registration forms can be found online at www.kids4.tv/kids-4-signup-info.
Students enrolled in KIDS-4 work after school once a week in “crews” and their work airs on KIDS-4, a 24-hour public access station available on Charter, TDS, Roku and Apple TV devices, as well as streaming on kids4.tv. Some projects will air on 103.5 The Sun Community Radio.
The Media Center understands concerns about COVID-19 during these unusual times. Summer workshops – basically condensed versions of KIDS-4 crews – have been going very well this summer. We are taking safety precautions to ensure the continued health of program participants and staff alike. Crews are small and meet requirements of Public Health Madison and Dane County specifications of how many students can gather together. However, full refunds will be made available prior to the start of crews in October if crews need to be canceled or for families that have a change of heart about enrolling their students.
Because of class size and popularity, we expect KIDS-4 to fill up fast for the 2020-2021 crew year! Please visit www.kids4.tv/kids-4-signup-info for more information.
