MEET THIS YEAR'S CLASS OF AMAZING KIDS!

Since 2014, the Pamplin Media Group has honored almost 250 local youths for their commitment and dedication to making their communities a better place to live.

We call them “Amazing Kids,” but in reality, they are all amazing young adults — regardless of their age. The level of commitment and thought behind the actions of each of these students is what sets them apart.

And the range of ages, accomplishments and aspirations is simply staggering.

An 8-year-old who has her own YouTube channel where she publishes educational pieces for other kids? Check.

A student who takes advanced placement classes, participates in team sports, and tours with a mariachi band? Check.

How about a 13-year-old who is teaching his community about local bird populations? Check.

Their stories, along with 26 other Amazing Kids stories, are in this Pamplin Media Group special section and on our Amazing Kids website at pamplinamazingkids.com.

A section like this takes months to produce. A lot of hard work and dedication was needed to make this all come together — especially when one factors in the challenges associated with working during a worldwide pandemic.

Special thanks go out to all the Pamplin Media employees who worked on this section and all the amazing local businesses that stepped up to financially support this section. Without their advertising support, being able to share these students’ inspiring stories wouldn’t be possible.

If you want to feel better about the future of this country, this state, or your community, read these stories, and you’ll find some amazing young people doing some amazing things.
