EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
We recently received an email about a group of 6th graders from Hillview Elementary School who made a big difference during a pickleball game. It said:
A group of our friends (from St. Anthony) recently met at McCowin pickleball courts. When we took the court, we could see we were going to have an audience. They had a fall pumpkin activity for the sixth graders. At first we thought we should go to a different park. We started playing and these kids were the cutest nicest kids! They quickly took sides with my 80-year-old mom. They cheered her on and the chanted her name - named their team and clapped and cheered and encouraged. Then when it was over the asked for autographs on cups, leaves, papers, etc. No bad language, just positive and encouraging. The 80-year-old felt like a gold medalist. We would love to recognize their good works and example. They changed our days, weeks and months. They made us feel good about the future and the youth. What a good bunch of kids.
We decided to visit the kids and thank them for what they did. Watch the surprise in the video player above!

Wow, these kids are amazing. All kids can be amazing if they want to. All people can be amazing if they try.
Wow, what a bunch of awesome kids. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
"At our school we are KIND - HONEST - RESPECTFUL - SAFE LEARNERS ....
WE ARE ALL IMPORTANT". !!! Okay, that's when I needed a KLEENEX. WAY to go kids !!!!
A shout out to the staff at Hillview Elementary School !!!!
When ALL of the kids (together) recited those school traits, that was absolutely the icing on the cake/cherry on top!!! In addition to the props that are well deserved to the staff at Hillview, I believe that major kudos also need to go out to all of the parents of these kids as well!! They have raised their children with the right kind of mindset!!
(It also makes me think, that maybe Secret Santa attended Hillview?)
Awesome 6th graders! You've got this 67 year old Gramma from mid-Missouri smiling ear to ear and heart swelling with pride for each and every one of you. I hope you always remember that your one act of kindness has made a difference for many worldwide:)
💞
@karolanoble2858 Lol. I'm a 67 year old gramma from southeast MO.. and I agree! 😁
The best part is that they'll*really get it* when they're much older! One day at 50 or so, they'll realize what that chant likely felt like to Linda (bigger & better than they know), and how nervous adults are around kids they dont know lol. Bunch of good eggs at that school!
Boy howdy, I think this was one of the best feel good segments I've seen. To know that there are children who are kind and positive and have feel good attitudes is fantastic. Great going children and teachers. God bless.
And now they/you are making 40 yer olds on the other side of the world cry. Thank you Idaho news for all the beautiful stories and lots of love to these beautiful kids!
Now THAT's a feel good moment. Bless them and East Idaho News for giving the recognition. The world needs more kids like these.
Best part was when the kids did there pledge in unison❤
Everything about this was super adorable!!!!!!!
What great kids...an inspiration to other kids...kindness to others can make someone's day...thank you to those kids...thank you Nate for this video, so uplifting..
So refreshing to see…kids who know the difference between right and wrong, are respectful and positive! Quite a difference from most of the country where indoctrination is the norm. Good job kids, parents and educators!
They will talk about this moment in time forever!🎊🎉🤝👏👏👏👏🤝🎉🎊
What a fantastic bunch of kids. Sorry, Young Heroes.
I loved that chant with the gestures at the end! What a great bunch of kids!
AWESOME! CONGRATS KIDS! 👏👍💪👌🙏 Much love and respect from SOUTH AFRICA. 🌍🦁😍
That was such an incredible story!
I love the message on the whiteboard in the background "Working hard is important but there is something that matters even more - believing in yourself" love it!! What a positive message for the students!.
What a wonderful motto for the school to have. Great kids!!! They are learning and living those ideals❤️❤️❤️ I hope they had a great time being recognized and hopefully others will follow their lead.
Man these kids are amazing and really brightened my day 😊
THAT WAS WONDERFULL
This is so sweet!! I love hearing about kids doing positive things.

Hello from Oklahoma :D
They were awesome
What a great video!!!
Thats so cool! You kids may think it's no big deal, but it's those little things in life that count too. Be it for the women on the sports court as well as for us who watched this video. It gives hope for the next generation, for the future. Be proud of yourselves. When you are older, maybe you will remember and understand what a big difference it made. Thank you to the women for writing this email and to East Idaho News for spreading the word. Love and respect from Germany
How cool! Way to go!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks Kids for inspiration
I hope they continue on their current path so they can grow up to be great adults.
You do such a great job!!
thank you ❤ made my heart explode 😭
Wow! They all knew what their school ideals are. Try that in NYC or LA.
Wow 🥳💕
Those Kids Were Raised Right.
theres hope for the future
This is what the news should be. And not just Fridays. Every day. The reality is the bad exists and while it is fair to report on it the truth is the reporting distorts how much is really there and creates the perception that these kids are unusual and rare. Children typically rise to the level of those around them and the examples they see. We need to stop talking down to them and expecting them to misbehave.
Maybe we're going to be ok after all
Yay Idaho!
Fantastic
Good school, well done.
I had to look up what pickleball is, we don't have it in the UK, its a relative of tennis played with plastic bats and a perforated ball (pickle?)
I cried ! Ok ? Needed this as counterbalance to the entitled, bratty syndrom of alot of videos! We must remember that one group may be obnoxious & in your face (especially on social media) its only a small portion of any generation! My era, not every was a hippie, smoking pot ! 20's not everyone was a flapper ! Etc, etc! Every generation feels like the next one is tanking but we seem to keep going & postive thinsgzr are in the world still !! 😊😂😢

Appreciate your skills of being on the news team to record, cameraman, but please, make sure you get everyone in on the panning... a few on the far left weren't in unless they themselves stepped into view.. when you did once, maybe twice, it was too quick! We would love to have seen the other kids, a lot better... thnx!!
I wanna go back to school… if I can go there 👏👏👏👏 absolutely lovely 🥹🤗🤗
