Xpress, the Coolest Section of the St. Petersburg Times, is the home for features, news and views of interest to young readers. Most of the work in Xpress, which appears on Mondays in Floridian, is produced by the Times' X-Team. The team of journalists ages 9-17 from around the Tampa Bay area is selected every year at the end of the school year to serve during the following school term. The current team of 12 was chosen out of 150 applicants. Watch for X-Team application forms in Xpress during the month of May.

How to Xpress yourself
Xpressions, our monthly showcase for the art, writing and photography of students through the 12th grade, is looking for your work! Xpressions appears the last Monday of each month inside Floridian. Please read the following instructions before submitting your work, which must be based on the designated theme:

When you're always on the go
Extracurricular activities are great, especially if you're organized and have a "personal chauffeur." But one expert advises: Make time for free time, too.

Kids almanac is cool, and that's a fact
It's been a long, hard day at school. Just as you get home, you lazily throw down your backpack and wind down for what may be an evening spent in front of the television or talking on the phone.

IT!: I have lost a friend
In elementary school, we had a group that I thought would be "friends forever." Girls and guys in it, and we had a lot of fun. We had days when we fought and said mean things about each other, but it never lasted more than a day or two.
