The Mystery Behind Morning Announcements

Ever wonder how morning announcements work? “The reason we don’t do it live is because it’s hard to live stream than do a video,” says Anika Maan, one of the main collaborators on the daily announcement videos.

Announcements are normally made with iMovie, and can be submitted to Maan for broadcasting. On B days, Maan makes the announcements; on A days, they are curated by the Media Center specialists.Maan says, “It can take anywhere for 10 minutes to 45 minutes” to create the announcement videos. She has been working on the announcements since the beginning of the schoolyear.

Ever wonder where the ‘Have a great day’ sign on the announcements comes from? The library made the sign to “let everyone know to have a great day.”
