Usually, Young Saint Louis.com gives three
Borders gift certificates to the winners. But, because of
the high number of winners this time, we're going to give
five $10 certificates, with the winners selected in a random
drawing.
The certificate winners for October were Zoe Bowman, Neil
Douherty, Malayka Ferhi, Audrey Palmer and Justin Weisman.
In addition, in a new addition to the prizes, YSL.com
is awarding a $10 gift certificate each month to one of the
math teachers whose kids have entered. This award is for getting
the kids to enter and doesn't depend on whether any of his
or her students win.
The October winning teacher is Ms. Suellen Slais at
Wydown Middle School.
