LC Prep Student, Friends Produce TV Show

A group of seven 12-year-old students have created a TV program in hopes of financing their way to a global problem-solving competition.

A group of local middle schoolers hope to travel to a global competition May 23 through a self-produced fundraising telethon. 

The telethon features the DI Vincis team—La Cañada Prep’s Cameron Cheung and  students Tiffany Chen, Exely Dillingham, Jeffrey Han, Elizabeth Kwon and Maximum Wilder-Smith—performing music, magic and comedy.

It's currently airing on Time Warner Channel 19 and AT&T U-verse Channel 99 daily at 3 and 7 p.m.
