“My students absolutely love CMSI! This has been my second year taking my 5th grade class to visit Community Media Staten Island, and each time was a new experience for both me and my students! The students were able to see the innerworkings of CMSI and how media works! They were hands-on and able to use the equipment in the studio! So many students returned from the trip with a new-found or increased interest in media and technology! They cannot stop talking about this trip and are looking forward to going back in the spring! ”
“Thank you to everyone at Community Media for making our class trip so memorable!
The kids couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had. The staff was so friendly and attentive during the whole day and the kids couldn’t stop smiling!
Thanks again, and we’ll definitely be back next year! ”
