The story of Recess Report

Recess Report felt like grown-up news, except the anchors were twelve and the top story was usually about a llama loose in a cul-de-sac. Anchor Tamika Booth signed off every week with a brand-new handshake. Teachers taped episodes for current events class, so watching it at home technically counted as homework.

Fun fact

Viewers mailed in so many handshake ideas that the studio stored the letters in an old canoe.
