2023 Spring Celebration

In May 2023, Healthy NewsWorks student reporters were on stage and on the big screen for our 2023 Spring Celebration at Community College of Philadelphia. Students, their families, friends, educators, and additional community members joined us for the evening’s activities, which included displays of student newspapers, their artwork, and our By Kids, For Kids magazine, all featuring topics related to the 2022-23 Healthy NewsWorks theme, “Caring for Our Earth and Ourselves.”

We were excited to hear live student interviews with (from left) Howard Stevenson, Ph.D., Constance Clayton Professor of Urban Education and Professor of Africana Studies, University of Pennsylvania, and Tim Massaquoi, L.P.C., Clinical Director, The Ladipo Group, Philadelphia. 

The event also included student-produced video shorts on topics ranging from eco-anxiety to a behind-the-scenes field trip to the Academy of National Sciences of Philadelphia at Drexel University.
