Finally, it was the CHAMPIONSHIP! PINK VS. ORANGE!
Player Q & A with Hannah Morrison
After the game, we got to talk to Hannah Morrison, a player from the pink team.
Q:How did the loss of Lacey Strait affect your team?
Hannah: It affected the team because Lacey is a very good midfielder and one of our best kickers.
Q: How did it feel winning a championship?
Hannah: Awesome!

What I’m Going to Be

I’m going to be an
astronaut and land upon
the moon,
I’m going to be a doctor
and heal peoples wounds.
I’m going to be a vet, and
help cats meow,
I’m going to be a pop star
and I’ll sing it loud.
I want to be a musician and
play the violin,
or maybe I’ll start a
business with my best

Do you want to read an emotional tear jerker about a Golden Retriever? The book, Old Yeller, is a Newberry
