1. News Radar #1: There are many talented people out there, and Taylor Abordo happens to be one of them. During his freshman year, he auditioned for this group named NLK (No Limit Krew). They auditioned for Hawaii’s Best Dance Crew and got in. They now hold the title of HBDC’s Season 3 winners. submitted by Daryenne
   
2. News Radar #2: Teens enjoy music, and for this band, Kolohe Kai, they sing particularly Hawaiian and reggae songs. This band consists of all high school students, who were recently contestants on brown bags to stardom. submitted by Desha
   
3. News Radar #3: The new furlough schedule that they are trying to get passed for public schools teachers, can not only take affect on the teachers, but it affects the children, and for us teens, it affects are education and possibly our future. submitted by Destrie
   
4. A dance studio teaches kids to dance at the level that professional dancers do. Many of their dancers have been on shows like America’s Best dance crew & So you think you can dance. submitted by Niki
   
5. The teen angle is this family service agency, Parents and Children Working Together, that deals with teens and their family. They have teen programs, family centers, and a care program. Teens come here from help, therapy, or just to be part of a family. NOTE: need "human story" for this one submitted by Kellyann
   
6. There are a lot of teens around the island wearing this brand called ‘Fitted’. Even girls wear this brand. The audience can connect because they probably seen this brand roaming around all over the malls and all around the island & probably wonder why it’s not in multiple stores. It’s because the brand Fitted has its own shop right across from Ala Moana. NOTE: need to distinguish this from a commercial submitted by Micah
   
7. “Adopt a school” is about 6 different high schools with students who speak English as their second language. At this event volunteers will come together with these teenagers to help them with the English language and to make it more comfortable for them. There are probably teens out there who came from a different country and have a hard time speaking English. This package could show these teens that they are not alone. It can also show teens who can speak English that they could be a helping hand to others that cannot speak English. submitted by Cynthia
