Chase Zeigenfuss“In the new year I want to get better grades so I can move on to seventh grade and learn more. Science is my favorite class.”

Declan Franz“I want to beat Iggie in Accelerated Readers. I said that because I want him to be surprised when he reads it in the paper — it’s a friendly competition. My favorite writer is James Patterson.”

Miranda Hedrick“In the new year I want to get outside more. I like all kinds of weather. Well, I don’t like the winter weather as much. I’m not outside as much as I used to be, and I want to change that.”

Page Setcavage“I want to read more. I don’t think I read enough, at home and at school. When I have free time, instead of not doing anything, I’m going to fill my free time with reading.”

Preston Bowes“I think after the new year I want to get better grades, that way I’ll be ready to do better in seventh grade. I like math best, and language class is my hardest.”

Lindsey Gerhard“I want to try to be kinder to people. And to find out what people need help with, and then help them.”
