Horse Show

This year Annie DeVoe and Miranda Hengy are thinking about going to the Warm and Fuzzy horse show. It will be held in Detroit this year. They will be ridding their horses Gracie and Kitten. Miranda was in the Manistee County fair horse show. She won six first and one second. Annie has never been in a horse show, but has had about 10 training lessons. Annie’s horse Gracie has almost never gotten a first. Their western trainer is Kay Miller. Their English trainer is Robin Morgan and Annie Nelson.
Robin Morgan was able to go to the Olympics, but she refused. Annie Nelson has lived with horses all her life and knows a lot about them. There will be over 100 people in the show. The horses will stay in stalls in Detroit. Annie and Miranda are looking forward to this big show. …Annie D

This year the girl's basketball team is going to play the six graders on Monday. I think we are going to beat them. We have won almost every game this season. The Bobcats beat us once, and we also lost to Trinity. …Emily B.

I am not in basketball but my sister is. I go to some of her games though. I went to one of her games three days ago. They lost by 11 points I think. They all played really hard. They played against Brethren. Brethren is a really good team. They played Katlyn but she didn’t make a basket. They played good the other team was really tough. They have Katlyn, Katie, Sherece, Kailanli, Elizabeth, and Dimond, Ashley S. on their team. I think there might be more people but I don’t remember them. I kind of want to be in basketball now but I cant. I think it would be fun. …Sarah M.

Girl Scouts

Sunday the 23 of October the girl scouts are going with Helen Johnson’s Girl Scout troop to the Amber Elk Ranch, corn maize, and a hayride for fun. We might even earn a patch for the corn maize and hayride. I can’t wait. We all will get to pet an elk from a guy on the way to Ludington. When I first learned we were going, I had a dream about it. Ever sense then, I’ve been very excited! So on Sunday the girl scouts will go with Helen Johnson and her troop to the Amber Elk ranch, the corn maize, and last a hayride. I love hayrides because they remind me of horses. I think the corn maize will be fun because you can explore corn and get lost. The corn maize is like a big field of corn to go through. I like petting animals so I will love the ranch. That is what the girl scouts are doing Sunday. …Jessa G.
