The literary work of San Bernardino-area elementary school students, through the Students and Coyotes Instruction in Poetry and Prose (SCIPP) program at Cal State San Bernardino, will be featured on KVCR-FM 91.9 twice this month. Originally aired live on CSUSB’s Coyote Radio on Dec. 7, the one-hour show can be heard on Saturday, Dec. 22, at 7 p.m., and again on Tuesday, Christmas Day, Dec. 25, at 3 p.m. The show can also be heard at those times online at the KVCR website. The holiday special features elementary school students, mentors, parents and administrators of the SCIPP program, a creative partnership between San Bernardino-area elementary schools and CSUSB’s graduate students. SCIPP meets after school at CSUSB. In each session elementary students work in collaborative groups led by MFA graduate students and explore their creativity via poetry and prose. This is the eighth year that the SCIPP Kids have come in to Coyote Radio to read their creative works live on the air. This year’s show was hosted by Lacey Kendall, a lecturer in the communication studies department. SCIPP is overseen by Alex Avila, a lecturer in the English department, and Juan Delgado, professor emeritus of English.
