Good morning and welcome to Kid News! I'm Tori, today's Monday, October 25th, 2021.

And we begin with a gaggle of dads now patrolling the hallways of Southwood High School

and Shreveport, Louisiana. According to CBS News, the decision to join their kids on campus

came after several days of not-so-great behavior by students. Michael LaFitte was the first

West Palm Beach, Miami, Florida, will slowly replace the famous beachy fronds with native

trees, such as mahogany, pines, and oaks, which not only provide better shade, but also

absorb more heat-creating carbon from the atmosphere. According to the U.S. Forest Service,

one-thatch palm absorbs less than five pounds of carbon dioxide a year, while a mature

live oak can funnel up to 487 pounds right into the ground. To put that in perspective,

the average car produces 10,000 pounds of CO2 a year. Miami's tree swap will be gradual,

but it hopes by 2050 climate-friendly plants will make up 75% of the city's public trees.

The World Series matchup is set. It'll be the Atlanta Braves taking on the Houston Astros,
