CBI Students Visit Power 107.5

Posted in News on June 1st, 2009 with Comments Off

On Thursday, May 7, CBI students had the opportunity to visit Power 107.5 and spend time with DJ City. In order to qualify, students had to write an essay on why they should be given the opportunity, have two staff recommendations and have no more than one discipline referral. Staff members from each school evaluated students’ essays and those with the highest scores were selected. The winners were Dexter Green from North, David Rodgers from Southwest, and Gracia Carpenter and Leondro Reyes from East.

During the visit, students had lunch with City and got to meet the station’s general manager, as well as one of the other radio personalities, Konata. Students talked with City about real-life issues and why they were determined to do well in school. Students also learned about the behind the scenes operations at the radio station and were allowed to record “shout outs” that aired on City’s show later that night.
