The Coolest School? Campbell High School

I hope you were up today at 5 a.m.  We checked out this week’s Cool School: Campbell High School in Cobb County!

Cool Schools – We’re Off To A Great Start

My Life Changes 1 Week From Today!

Am I leaving? No. 
Am I changing positions to become a producer? Heck no! I can’t focus [...]

Everyone Loves Jen’s Animal House

Nothing comes between man and his best friend (and by “man” I mean humans).  We started Jen’s Animal House a few weeks ago and we’re getting all kinds of great pictures!  It’s continually one of the most popular slide shows on our web site.
It’s so popular, my pet “Bob” wanted to be a part of [...]

Let me tell you that I was blown away with what the program is doing for kids.  I taped 2 stories: 1) older kids performing a scene from [...]

I checked out some of the classes as part of our Cool Camps series.  Let me tell you – there’s a [...]
