At Horizon Elementary, Kelton is known by the whole school. Each month, staff and
students watch as Kelton co-hosts the school's news program, Horizon Today (we're
using the word news in the loosest sense here) on the school's closed circuit
television station, HOWL TV. Think The Today Show for elementary students.
On Sunday, Kelton and his co-hosts, Abbie and Michael visited KING 5 TV (along with
the three teachers who supervise HOWL TV) to take a behind the scenes look at the
production of a news broadcast. KING 5 anchor Allen Schauffler gave the three a
tour of the news studio, control room, satellite feed center and newsroom. He
explained how the different pieces work together and introduced the students to the
producer, director, reporters and other crew members responsible for putting the
broadcast together.
The students then watched the first half of the news broadcast from the control room
and watched the second half right on the set. All three students looked like they
belonged behind the news desk as they sat on the set. They even got to help Allen
film an on-air promo spot. Okay, truth be told, Allen helped Kelton and his friends
film a promo spot for HOWL TV, but they did an awesome job and could certainly fit
right in with the KING news staff.
Throughout the trip, the trio shot lots of video footage with the school's new Flip
video cameras. The cameras kept rolling as the group, joined by Kelton's and
Abbie's moms, headed out for pizza and lots more laughter and fun.

3rd Round of Chemo went well, as expected! All of Kelton's "numbers" were up and Dr's were of course impressed with how well he is doing with the Chemo! He is now losing his hair but that's to be expected and we love him hairy or bald :-) Radiation is almost over, only 2 more to go!! One more chemo treatment next week, then a short rest and in for the scans they go the following week to, hopefully, get some great news and re-evaluate the treatment regimen.
