This is a fantastic music video Chase Hampton sent American Kids with a warm message to all of us! Look at what these folks are doing to help others by sharing their God-given talents!! This is so much fun and is similar to an idea Dr. Dale has, to get all the American Kids and Alumni to record "We Can Change The World" just like this!! What do you think!?!? Now for Chase's message and video! Enjoy!! "Hi y’all I wouldn’t have a career if not for the amazing times at Oklahoma Kids! Here is a new video from our (The cast of The Disney Channels Mickey Mouse Club (90s version) new Christmas Album. All helping Covid Relief /Brave Of Heart Fund/ CM Pantry and Musicares through the Grammys. Thought you guys might like to see and help share. Thanks for your time. Big hugs." -Chase Hampton

A word from one of our cherished alumni! Those of you who experienced this too, might comment and share your heart and memories! "Love that OK KIDS is getting it's life back! It was very important to my entire family. I love even more that it will be lead by people who love Jesus. One day, I'd love to be more involved! What I can't stress enough is HOW Dale and Carolyn ran it. Lots of one on one, promoting friendship within the competition with your competit...ors, praying ahead of the opening number and HAVING an opening number where we all perform as one group. It was about friendship, getting the opportunity to perform, finding others like ourselves, and love for what we do. The banquet parties were the best! Parents were just as much a friend as their child, and they backed up the ideals the Smiths promoted. We HELPED each other, on stage and off! Trophies were not the objective. Winning was NOT our focus. We pushed each other to do better and be better. It wasn't a competition; it was a family-- and it was BECAUSE Dr. Dale's spirit reminded us of it consistently." -Cara Kem

Dr. Dale found this priceless video a couple days ago and thought he'd share this treat with you for Thanksgiving! He is SO thankful for all of you and for the many years of joy you have brought to him and to others! Enjoy this flash-to-the-past and see if you know anyone in this video! I bet you just might! Happy Thanksgiving to all! #WeCanChangeTheWorld Love from Dr. Dale!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our American Kids! Let's us give thanks for all we have, all we are, and all we will ever be!!

One of our very own! Chasen Hampton! Multi-talent and Mousekateer from Oklahoma!! This looks like so much fun to listen to and what a great cause! Christmas is almost here!! Thank you, Chasen, for all the wonderful memories! You made Oklahoma Kids proud!!

Dear Friends, Dr. Dale here.. A little over a year ago, I spoke to you about the "RELAUNCH" of the AMERICAN KIDS program. I am happy to announce that the relaunch is well underway, with MY HOPE that THE LEGACY of the IDEA behind AMERICAN KIDS is assured for many years to come. But first, there are those that have been 'THE WIND BENEATH THE WINGS' of the program for nearly 40 years. Although too numerous to mention here, I acknowledge that this 'movement' would not have been p...ossible without the contribution of those who provided support as leaders, parents, friends and alumni. AMERICAN KIDS is in a position to relaunch because of your acts of LOVE AND CARING. God bless you for exemplifying the character we hope to continue to instill in our children. For that, I am forever grateful. It is my belief that God gives us GIFTS along with THE CHOICE as to how we may UTILIZE these gifts. I have hoped for some time, that I could be led to individuals who share this same spirit. Although I have met many along the way, the individuals I introduce to you today have THE VISION needed to see THE BRIGHT FUTURE, and THE SPIRIT to carry on this legacy. I have complete faith in their leading American Kids into the days-to-come, and maintaining the core values this program was founded on. I am happy to Introduce Miss Kerri Freeman, Vice President and Executive Director, and Miss Shawntay Wolfe Moody, our new American Kids National Director! I believe that as you view their applicable bios, you will be inspired to join their efforts, so that TOGETHER, we can continue to positively impact children, as God would have it. FOR AMERICAN KIDS, Dr. Dale PLEASE WELCOME---- KERRI FREEMAN and SHAWNTAY MOODY! *see bios under their photos

Unfulfilled Potential?.. No Way!!.. As the Sunday school song goes, "You are a great big bundle of potentiality!".. and YOU are so very capable!! Believe it! Become it! You are so very important! Denzel Washington-- "The world needs a lot and we need it from you. We need it from you, the young people. You gotta get out there, give it everything you got, whether it's your time, your talent, your prayers, or your treasures. What are you going to do with what you have? I'...m not talking about how much you have. Some of you are business majors. Some of you theologians, nurses, sociologists. Some of you have money. Some of you have patience. Some of you have kindness. Some of you have love. Some of you have the gift of longsuffering. Whatever it is, whatever your gift is, what are you going to do with what you have?" #WeCanChangeTheWorld #WeCanBeTheOne #Family #talentgifts #blessothers #sharelife #AmericanKids #OfferingsNetwork #ourfuture #kids #singwithallyourheart #fruitsofthespirit #youareimportant #loveyourneighbor

For my 90th birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Offerings Global Humanitarian Social Network, an organization that has made great contribution to THE AMERICAN KIDS PROGRAM. I've chosen this nonprofit because their mission and purpose is consistent with the mission of AMERICAN KIDS, UTILIZING ONES’ TALENT GIFTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS. This is a proven ministry and means a lot to me. I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal of $9,000 dollars. $100 for every year I've been alive!! -Love, Dr. Dale "We Can Change The World" www.OfferingsNetwork.org

"Look up, look up!" Dr. Dale's story of overcoming fear and anxiety in troubling times. "When I was a small child my parents would sometimes leave me with my Grandmother. She had a way of helping me through times of fear and anxiety. I have recalled that memory many times, especially, more recently. My Grandmother's name is INDIANA WILSON SMITH. As a very young woman she married my Grandfather, ANDREW JACKSON SMITH. He was a sharecropper. They lived off the 20 acre...s of leased land in Oklahoma. On occasion, my parents would leave me with my grandparents. Their small 2 room leaking house where the only light was one coal oil lamp that Grandmother would carry from room to room as needed. The shadows that this movement created were frightening to this 4 year old boy. As you might guess, I was singing at that age so when I was anxious or afraid of the shadows or fearful because my parents were absent, my Grandmother would ask me to sing. Of course, I was always ready to. Once I had her as an audience listening to my song, my fear and anxiety left the premises. My Grandmother was a spiritual woman, It would appear that she had nothing for which to be thankful and yet she would sing gospel songs as she moved about preparing a meal or cleaning the bare wood floors. She was not a singer but sang anyway. She would also pray intermittently. She would sing, then pray. She was a believer. Sometimes she would pray and suddenly, she would GET HAPPY and start shouting praises to JESUS. It was really enough to scare the pants off a young child. I know because I was there. Then she would start preaching to me and she would say over and over..." LOOK UP DALE, LOOK UP", she would shout. I can still see her with outstretched arms toward Heaven. Even now, 85 years later, I see her lifted arms and hear her encouraging words, words that I use now to encourage all who wish to acknowledge the king "LOOK UP! LOOK UP!" See more

A wonderful word from Dr Dale! Please join us in prayer tonight at 9pm!

He really wants to be there to help you and your children in any way he can! Sooo... Now introducing "Dr. Dale Says"! A podcast and series of videos, addressing concerns that parents may have while raising their children in, and out of, entertainment! American Kids Inc has always been, first and foremo...st, a child development program, with the intent to guide children in healthy life-skills and social interactions. We hope to use broadcasting as a method to reach, and assist, as many children and parents as we can! We are currently recording, and will bring you more information on this wonderful addition to the American Kids program, as our official "Relaunch" approaches!! "Dr. Dale Says" is a tribute to the late Will Rogers, whom Dr. Dale greatly admires, and has written songs and stage productions about, to keep his legacy alive!
