Like in Lake Wobegon, we know our coastal kids are way above average.
The children and teens I've met in our area are without exception more charming and poised than I ever was in my misspent youth.
I'm sure there are plenty of coastal kids who will spend their summer — like I did — at the beach or the library or the mall, and many will head off to camp to learn new skills and share experiences with new friends.
I applaud them. I'm a big fan of developing leisure skills at an early age.
But there will be others who spend the summer reaching for their dreams: composing music, writing poetry, taking on leadership roles and working as volunteers.
Regardless of your child's plans, we'd like to share with our readers the exceptional things your kids are doing this summer. So please drop a note to editor@thecoastalstar.com and tell us how your child is making a difference during summer vacation.
