Dear Rick,Jenny, and Amanda, Hi! How are you doing? I like sports. My favorite sports are hockey, track and field, basketball. My favorite hockey team is Colorado Avalanche. I am in grade four at Smith Elementary School. Do you know where Smith is in relation to Edmonton? I am ten years old. My favorite music is country and Shania Twain is my favorite artitst. I have a cat named Kitty. I have three sisters and two of them are in school. I have lots of friends. I think that the millennium will cause no power. This makes me concerned because we will not be able to use our stoves, our t.v.s and water. I want to know how to prepare for this. I think that our computers will break down. I am worried about all of the computer games. I put a picture of our class as an attachment. I am the girl in the front left-hand corner. I am wearing a baby blue shirt. Talk to you soon, Michelle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
