Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Thursday, September 4th, 2025, and we begin with a potential sea change for school age shots.

Chronicle, she finished the 30-mile swim in a record time of 13 hours, 54 minutes, and 10 seconds.

Breed is only the seventh person and third woman to make the journey. She said she was
