Gatewood Skratch Lounge

Royce, Ardon and his friends Mito, PJ, Beau, Eric, and Simon hauled their turntables, mixers, speakers, and cords galore to Gatewood to teach the 4th and 5th graders the basics about being a DJ. The kiddos learned a little bit of history, some different types of scratches, got to ask their questions, and even got to get on the turntables and try! They were so engaged. For some, it ignited a bit of a spark and, as their teacher, it was truly exciting to see. The part that cracked me up the most was that all the kids went to each of rock star DJs with a pencil and paper and asked for their autographs. It was a win-win situation. This was surely a great day at school.

Here's a little sneak peak of their scratch session.
