Books
This month's
book reviews
Dylan Hitchcock's dad prepares to leave on
a trip to find the legendary Bigfoot, and
Dylan finds someone to take him, too, so he
can keep his dad from getting hurt. The big
question is whether there is really a Bigfoot
in the first place. Of course there is another
big question - is Mount Saint Helens going
to erupt while they search for Bigfoot? Read
about this book and more in this month's book
reviews. |
History
Kids get bonus
on history trip
Last summer, middle schoolers Brooks Maxwell
and Raquel Davis were on a school history
trip. But, not all the history they saw was
from the past. |
Environment
Kids help
in Operation Clean Stream
Drew and Daphne Hayden of Fenton took part
in this summer's Operation Clean Stream. For
them, it was like helping to clean up their
front yard. |
Gardening
Kids study
gardening, eat the results
Working in the school garden is part of the
curriculum at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic School.
For kids in those classes, the extra benefit
is they get to eat the results. |
Hunting
Kids hope for
deer-hunting success
Teenagers Katherine Josten and Calvin Emge
already have had success as deer hunters.
They're hoping for more this month in a youth-only
deer hunt in St. Charles County. |
Profile
Young Achiever

Twelve-year-old Brianna Jones is in a new
school this year. But, she's planning on staying
