VIDEO: LA students grab the mic to talk winter break

Roosevelt High Santa

Roosevelt High School students released a short video remaking The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Cue cameras. Sync sound. Remix a Christmas classic, L.A. Unified style.
"On the first day of Christmas, my teachers gave to me, a winter break just to be free," Boyle Heights students sing.
The students released a short video remaking The Twelve Days of Christmas before skipping out the Roosevelt High School gates for three weeks.
The piece appears in The Bear Claw - a regular student-produced video series at what is one of the largest high schools in the area.
This edition of The Bear Claw also includes student reporters asking their classmates how they'll be spending the holidays. 
Like the L.A. students in my radio story, a few of these teens are out to learn something new.
