Amazon.comPlanning 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.

Looking Ahead
Helping you get involved in your community
For nearly 3 1/2 years, Young Saint Louis.com has been telling about the interesting things St. Louis area kids do. This fall, we're setting up a new "early warning" system so you can get personally involved in those activities you enjoy.

News
Lewis & Clark re-enactment is big news
St. Louisans have important roles in the nation's bicentennial of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery cross-country trip. And they are making it possible for you to follow all the action on your computer or those at school.

Lifestyle
Local kids' artwork helps others who are ill
Genna Atkins of Eureka and Dakota Riddle of Waterloo, Ill., like to draw and paint. They found a way this year to use their talent to help sick kids at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital.

Books
This month's book reviews
Tessy LeClerc is stuck with a teacher who hates her and an oral report topic everyone else wants. Can she find a way to make this the greatest report ever, or is she doomed to flunk sixth grade? Find out about this book and more, in this month's book reviews.

Outdoors
Two local kids in international Youth Hunting test
Fourteen-year-old Ashley Metzger went on her first hunting trip when she was 11 years old. But, she didn't bag her first deer until last November.

Entertainment
Second-choice instruments for young musicians
When they started in music, Alexandria Sayles wanted to play the violin and George Harper III, the trumpet. But, both ended up playing different instruments.

Four years later, young musician heads to college
Ketsia Theodor was among the first kids featured on the Young Saint Louis.com website. At that time, her story told of her winning a 4-year music scholarship to a local private high school.

Sports
Waterloo, Ill., sisters follow bike trails
