Studio Profile

The Roots is a weekly video broadcast created in the SEVA Studio at Miwok Middle School (Formerly Sutter Middle School). The broadcast airs every Monday during Core classes. 8th grade students are responsible for planning the content for each episode, recording all the segments, and putting together the final broadcast. One of the most unique things about this program is that the students are only in the class for one year so they can’t waste any time getting started. Each year SEVA judges are amazed at the quality of videos that come out of this program and it seems like each year the videos only get better.
