What's the ideal size for high school?

Flickr'ing images: Get on the bus

PS 226 and school bus As regular readers may have noticed, our format's changed to permit greater use of daily images.Now, we're reaching out to city parents for pictures they love: Of their schools, their classes, their kids, and the amazing art projects and staggering science experiments those kids create. We're also looking for kid-made photos, from grade-schoolers learning to point and shoot to big kids' personal projects. Scanned art also works! PS 226PS 226

To that end, we've set up an Insideschools group on Flickr, and we cordially invite readers to join and submit their best pics and video clips. We'll use some of the images on the site, with a new weekly feature showcasing photos of the week, and will of course happily credit contributors by name.

Here's how to start: First, go to Flickr.com. If you're not yet a member, please join -- it requires a free Yahoo account and only takes a couple of minutes. Once you've joined, click on the "Groups" button at the top of the page. Search for "Insideschools," join the group, and hey, presto! You're in.

We look forward with curiosity and pleasure to seeing what our readers send in.

Urban shutterbugs, get busy --
