Thompson School District’s "Thompson Kids Can Change the World" contest recognizes students who are making a positive difference in their community. This year’s K-5th grade winner is Lauren Dietz, 5th grader at New Vision Charter School.

The 6th-12th grade winner is Kelly Clingan, junior at Thompson Valley High School. She saw the success of the Thompson Valley Clothes Closet that was created for students in need, but also saw challenges to sustaining, improving and expanding it.
