Talk about extracurricular activity. As part of their after-school program, 24 students at New York City's South Shore High came up with-and designed-this game, which is named after the way Haiti is pronounced in Creole. The free game, which looks at poverty in the island nation, and will be available for download at thecostoflife.org in September, almost makes going back to school seem...
...surmounted by busy work and romantic dither.

Roughly one Sunday a month...
When surfer girl Bethany Hamilton was attacked by a shark off the North Shore of Kauai, Hawaii, in 2003, she lost an arm--but not her drive. Now 16 and still home-schooled, Hamilton has blossomed as an entrepreneur, building a miniempire of merchandise, including a perfume called Stoked and an eponymous line of accessories sold at teen favorite Claire's. She is also working on a young-adult fiction series and three advice books. "It's been really exciting," she says. "I'm happy I'll be able to tell my story and inspire other girls...
