Bingham Fellows "In School" with Christopher 2X, R Prophet and Radio One B-96!

Bingham fellows for GC

The 2007 Bingham Fellows have been challenged with engaging the community in support of the Jefferson County Public Schools Math and Science Initiative funded by a $25 million grant from the GE Foundation.

To meet this challenge, one of the Bingham Fellows teams� the �In School� Work Group�is currently working with Christopher 2X. The group of Fellows will assist with the April 1 production of the radio show �The Streets are Talking� - a live show which airs at 2 p.m. on B96, hosted by Christopher 2X and musician - R Prophet.
The entire show will be dedicated to math and science issues and will include an on-air forum of students, parents and Fellows discussing the importance of math and science achievement and the JCPS curriculum changes for grades K-8.

Additionally, the �In School� Work Group is working with students in the Thomas Jefferson Middle School communications program to videotape portions of the forum and produce a music video/PSA with R Prophet.

This is just one of the ways the Bingham Fellows are generating community support for quality public education.

The �In School� Work Group includes: Dana Allen, Brown-Forman Corporation; Suzanne Bergmeister, University of Louisville College of Business; David Bingham, Business First; Amy Cubbage, Frost Brown Todd LLC; and Tyson Gorman, Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs, LLP.
