    Anna Wilkerson from the 4-H Club quoted “There’s something that feels so all-American about a County Fair.” The creaking of the rides‚ the mouthwatering aromas‚ scrumptious foods‚ and the wonderful sights all around.

It is easy for modern American’s to take for granted all of the advantages

    Recently we celebrated the New Year. We celebrated time: new year’s new tears‚ new year’s new fears‚ new year’s new cheers. Time doesn’t necessarily have a definitive connotation‚ does it? We have five minutes to complete this speech. It may seem like a profusion of time when you’re up here or even in the audience. Trust me though‚ in a week or so the memory will have this moment looking like it scuttled by in the blink of an eye. If you reach out to grasp it in the future‚ it’ll already be gone

Two‚ children will not have time for sports‚ clubs‚ and other after school activities. Three‚ stress levels are bound to rise with this nonsense. Why add boring hours to dreary days? Staff and students handle more than meets the eye during the day. The effects of a change such as this will only end poorly. In other words‚ why torture children
