Tracks is a popular Michigan Nature Magazine. The Spirit of the Woods Conservation Club donates it to our class. Each year everyone types a letter to Tracks telling the editor what they like.

Sam said, "I never thought I would be in the magazine. After all, it had been months since I wrote the letter. I'm glad my letter was in the frog issue because I was just in a dance performance where I was a frog!"

Jade said, "I was very shocked. I really never thought Tracks would pick my letter. It was very nice that they pick letters and publish them." Read the letters the girls wrote to Tracks

Letter writers Eleanor, Samantha, and Jade were pleased to be published in Tracks
