First Things 1st on TJ-TV

Since 2006, TJMS has had a student-run television station called TJ-TV.  TJ-TV produces a live news show called First Things 1st that is broadcast four days week to TJMS students at the beginning of first period that is also available on our website.
	First Things 1st is entirely created produced and run by 12 and 13-year-old middle school students who arrive at school every morning at 7:00 am.
Students in the program learn skills such as writing for broadcast news, reporting, videography composition, editing, collaboration, working to meet deadlines, leadership and time management skills that will help them succeed in every aspect of their future.
	First Things 1st has won awards for excellence every year at the Student Education Video Awards (SEVA) for Sacramento County students.  Our program gets bigger, stronger and more advanced every year.
