Youree Drive Middle School's KYDS broadcasting class has just received national recognition and a nice chunk of change to go along with it.  

KYDS won the "Best Middle School" U.S. Education TV Award at the 2014 Student Television Network Convention.

The $5,000 award is given to the middle school that best exemplifies the platform in terms of live feeds, news production, community involvement, and advertising.
