Brooklyn school channels Ellen DeGeneres with kid-created, autism awareness talk show
Following on the heels of a successful autism awareness fashion show last spring, the kids at P53K@437 in Kensington took the work of their Student Enrichment Model (SEM) program a step further this school year by creating their very own talk show.
Now, they’re hoping it grabs the attention of celebs like Ellen DeGeneres.
The project, Crista Conto — the show’s executive producer, alongside co-producers Sharon Hunter and Tanisha Graham — said, was the culmination of a group of children’s hard work in SEM, a yearly student-driven program that allows kids to think outside the mandated curriculum and come up with a fun, group project on their own.
