NEW YORK -- Meet Jericho Jose, a second grader who loves to cook, enjoys math and as it turns out, has a knack for TV news.

It was a video project where Jericho took on the role of TV reporter for a class assignment on the Northern Cardinal that wow’d his classmates and faculty at Success Academy Hudson Yards. It also caught our eye here at PIX11.

We paid a visit to the 8-year-old who is getting props from his peers and teacher for thinking outside the box.

“It’s great to see a scholar and a family work together and take an idea and really turn it into something really cool and really unique,” his teacher Brianna Levy told PIX11.

Meanwhile, a very modest Jericho gave credit where it was due.

“It was all my family’s idea and because of that we were able to make something so fantastic,” he said.

After seven days of shooting and getting the lines just right, Jericho said it was all worth it especially after getting his own feature on PIX11.
