One of the greatest joys at Happen is watching kids grow up with us.
Felicite and Joel have been part of Happen activities since they were six years old. Now they are both active in our Happen Teen Hall program for ages 13 to 17, and they continue to show up in the best ways.
They are part of Happen’s Teen Garden Club and Kids Making the News Happen, and if you attended the Valentine Dance or any Happen event over the past few years, you have likely seen this brother and sister team in action. From welcoming families at the door to serving food and drinks to helping set up and break down events, they are always ready to help.
The photo on the left was taken at this year’s Valentine Dance.
It has been wonderful to watch them grow up with Happen.

This week on KMNH – Kids Making the News Happen, Joey takes us inside Happen’s Valentine Dance for pizza, prizes, and nonstop fun. And the excitement is not over yet. The Happen Easter Egg Hunt is right around the corner at the Happen Outside Space with more than 4,000 stuffed eggs ready to be found.
We also break down a big national question. Could high school athletes someday earn millions of dollars? Or should school sports stay focused on school spirit and teamwork? We explain what is happening and why it matters.
Plus, discover how flamingos are inspiring scientists to rethink how we clean polluted water, and why more Americans are switching to electric vehicles as the country moves toward cleaner transportation.

Watch now and see how Kids Are Making the News Happen.
