What I Like to Do
Aaron Bailey
Uniontown
I like to color, draw, play sports, read, play with my brother, and play games. That is all fun. But I can’t do all that stuff until I am out of school. I also like to play cards, watch the Steelers play, and write for the Junior Reporter Club. That is all cool stuff to do except for school. Sometimes I like to go to school though.
I get bored sometimes when I’m not doing anything. I get to go to Cub Scouts on Wednesday sometimes. That is cool too.
My Favorite Team
Joshua Gilbert
Lemont Furnace
My favorite team is the Steelers because they have a good team, and they have really good players and coaches. Almost every year they do good.
They get a lot of good young players and they put a lot of effort into every game. All of those reasons are the reasons I like the Steelers.
My Dog
Rikki Gallentine
Uniontown
My dog’s name is Harlie. He is black with white on his chest. He is not even a year old and he knocks the door open when it is closed. He is part Rottweiler and black Lab. He has brown eyes. He is my friend April’s favorite of my dogs.
My dog
Lyndsay Molnar
Masontown
My dog’s name is Buddy. He is a Golden Retreiver Collie mix. He is very playful. I like him very much. Sometimes he and my other dog get in fights. His name is Sam. He goes in he woods with me. He is a Beagle. He is also fun and playful.
Wrestling
Schulyer Moncheck
Uniontown
Wrestling is a good sport. It teaches you to stay on your feet. It also teaches you good sportsmanship. It is a winter sport, but some kids, like me, wrestle all year round. You make a lot of friends too. There are lots of good wrestlers. My record in three years is 99 wins and 33 losses. I think more kids should wrestle.
