the popular, award-

winning The Perils

Kid. Frohlichstein

will present her new

book during a St.

Louis Jewish Book

Festival panel on

Nov. 9. The author

tells LN the book

is an 85th birthday

present to herself, and

hopefully, to others. A

portion of proceeds

from every book sold

will go to nonprofit

cancer groups and other organizations that work to improve

the health and well-being of children and adults.

The next ST. LOUIS TEEN TALENT COMPETITION is underway:

Online registration is now open for all area high school students

to participate in the fifth annual contest hosted by the FOX

PERFORMING ARTS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION. The deadline

to enter is Friday, Nov. 21, to be considered for preliminary rounds

in February and March. The finals will be held at the Fox Theatre

on Friday, April 24. For more information, visit foxpacf.org.

Things just got a little dapper at CRAIG ELEMENTARY

SCHOOL in the Parkway School District, where every

Tuesday is Bow Tie Tuesday. The idea was started by

Principal BILL SENTI and his staff; and now, students have

caught on, and are putting their own style on display.
