Good morning and welcome to Kid News.

We're hitting the beach for a few weeks, but we're still keen to keep you in the know

and on your toes.

Tune in for a different Kid News classic and new alert challenge every day until the

end of July.

Country singer Dolly Parton is a national treasure.

Last November, she also won the $100 million Courage and Civility Award, handed out by Amazon

Founder Jeff Bezos and his partner Lauren Sanchez.

The one catch, the money isn't for her to keep.

Instead, she must donate it to charities of their choice.

If you had $100 million to give away, to which charities would you donate the money?

Tune in tomorrow for a new story and question taken from our podcast and from our free monthly

worksheet known as the Noodler.

Each exercise is designed to take our Kid News kids beyond the headlines to get them thinking

critically about current events.

And while you noodle, we're recharging our news batteries and looking forward to getting

back on the air with fun fresh episodes on Monday, July 31st.
