NEW YORK - We have an exciting announcement about where we're going for our next Class Act

On Friday, we will be broadcasting CBS2 This Morning live from Francis Lewis High School in Fresh Meadows, Queens. 

The school has a little bit of everything, like a culinary department with a rooftop greenhouse where kids grow food for their culinary program. The greenhouse has, of all things, a reptile sanctuary. One of the reptiles is Sophia the turtle.

The reason why we're going to the school this week is to highlight their programs, but also to help the school throw a birthday party for Sophia, who is turning 16. The students say celebrating her is a way to show how much of an impact she's had on their high school experience.
