KID CLOSEUP

ILLUSTRATION: Graphic

The Virginian-Pilot soon will begin a series in which four

education reporters each follows an eighth-grade student and his/her

family over the course of the upcoming school year. The idea is to

show Hampton Roads citizens how families strive to help their

children in school and how family life and school life are

connected.

We want to chronicle the experiences of everyday kids and

everyday families in the ever-changing '90s.

If you're interested in participating, if you desire more

information, please call Vanee Vines at 490-7213.
