Good kids helping sick kids

Do you get the blues every once in awhile, thinking today's youth are just lost? Well, stop that right now and put this story on The Bee's Academic All-Stars in your list of "favorites" on the computer. What a bunch of stellar citizens; not only smart but caring, giving, resilient. Not enough for you? Reporter Cyndee Fontana checks in on the 10-year class reunion of the group selected in 1996. Those young adults launched in the Valley are making a positive mark in the world already.

Still not enough good news for you? I got a message this morning from Children's Hospital Central California announcing that leadership students from Clovis East High School are throwing a sports-themed party for patients at Children's Hospital. They have planned a day packed with fun, games and laughs. It will be Thursday from 2-4 p.m. at the donor recognition area of the hospital.

You think today's kids don't care? Think again!
