POWER PACK and SPECIAL FEATURE VIDEO INFORMATION

What is a Power Pack video?  The name “Power Pack Video” comes from the fact that a lot of character information is packed into a short period of time that can empower students to become solid citizens.  Hard work and good character are each a primary ingredient to realize personal success.  Power Pack videos deal directly with personal character information and other related issues that student’s today must deal with.  The Conroe Independent School District mandates that character education be incorporated into each schools curriculum.  At Washington Junior High School we achieved this by broadcasting professional instruction in the area of individual character through the programming provided by the Washington Jr. High News Team.  This broadcast goes a step further by also incorporating life skills, social issues, campus events, career information, and many other topics that are important to our students.  Videos that incorporate these additional topic areas are called “Special Features”.  The type of citizens our students become depend first on their parents and secondly on their schools.  Who these kids become as adults will directly impact our freedoms and the social fabric of our country.   Our current video library has been listed below. 

Note: Titles listed in yellow are part of a video series.  Titles listed in white are not part of a video series.  The list below includes Power Pack videos and our Special Features videos.  The videos that have (EDV) written next to their title have been edited, by our Video Editors on the team, to fit the time frame for the broadcast.
