Kids You Should Know
About the segment
Twelve years ago, CHANNEL 5 NEWS introduced "Kids You Should Know" and asked teachers and viewers to send us stories of the kids they felt "you should know." The response has been overwhelming.
We have introduced children who live in challenging circumstances and those who seem to have everything going for them. We have introduced kids who were physically handicapped to kids who are star athletes. We have introduced kids who struggle to make passing grades to kids who are extremely gifted. But all the kids we've featured have one thing in common: They have taken responsibility for their own lives.
The segment highlights accomplishments of students in the fifth grade or under.
Beginning the first Sunday in September, CHANNEL 5 NEWS kicks off a new year of "Kids You Should Know." FIRST WARN 5 Meteorologist Tim Smith hosts the feature and asks viewers to send us the names and accomplishments of kids we should recognize.
