Well, one of the many reasons I love hosting this show is I get to be out in the community meeting some incredible students who leave a lasting impact.

Thanks to the great team at the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada, I recently met two wonderful CCSD students at a very special art class.

That talented artist is Amy, a student at Legacy High School.

And this equally talented artist is Jojo, who's part of CCSD Transition Program at Southwest Career and Technical Academy.

The art class, one of many programs offered by the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada.

And I'm told Jojo and Amy are not only incredibly talented, they are superstars that shine.

(Peter Whittingham) JoJo has, is now in our extension program, and she happens to be our foremost leading artist.

-So, so my skill is just so we use a pencil a lot because I'm just like learning about the shape.

So today we decide like paint the bunny.

-Amy is just wonderful in all aspects.

She is.

She is one of our star dancers, and also she's involved in our performing arts as well.

And she is just a star student.

-I just sing with my mom.

She's the best, though.

-So proud of you, Amy and JoJo, and all of these talented artists.

I can tell you, it was an honor to be in that art class watching these artists, some like Amy, there with her mom, Mariela, getting a little help from their wonderful parents.

I witnessed so much love, kindness, and empathy.

A special thank-you to the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada, your team for all that you do to help some of our CCSD students and so many members of our community.
