 Planning
for 2003-2004 school year
Young Saint Louis.com continually searching for ways
to make the website more useful to St. Louis area kids.
Our articles tell about area kids who are doing neat things.
But, the stories might come too late for other kids to join
in the fun. In September, 2003, YSL.com will change
its Resources listings to provide early alerts to
new opportunities. That way, if you're interested, you can
join while there's still time for sign-up. We think you'll
find this added feature useful. Watch for it. |

so you can get personally involved in those activities
you enjoy.
