The Landmark Game '98 Ashby Ashby, Massechusetts   Portuguese | Spanish Date: Mon, 12 Jan 1998 15:07:30 -0400 From: Vicki Whittenkraus <vwhittenkraus@nmiddlesex.mec.edu> Subject: Introduction Letter from Ashby Elementary School To: KIDPROJ@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU Hello Landmark Game Friends, The town our class lives in is called Ashby. We live near the coast of The Atlantic Ocean. Ashby is at the top center of Massachusetts in the U.S.A. Ashby is a small town between some large towns with Fitchburg to its south, Townsend to its east, Ashburnham to its west and New Hampshire to its north. It has one diner, one library, two markets (one with a gas station), a mechanical shop/auto dealership, of course a school, and a post office. We also have a memorial to John Fitch , and an old tavern with a ballroom, sleeping areas, and more. It is a small but lively town. Our population is about 2,000 people. We have a Common in the middle of our town. The center of town has one store, a post office and two churches. Most houses are spread far apart. Ashby is a historical town with something going every day. We have a Mountain in our town called Mt. Watatic. We are a fifth grade class at Ashby Elementary school, a small school in Massachusetts. We take pride in representing our school and our town in your wonderful Internet landmark game. We have learned much about landmarks and hope to do well. Our class is made up of 27 students. Mr. Hogan is our teacher. He is teaching us about world geography. We hope this game will be a fun and educational experience. Our class is one of the most hard working classes I've ever seen. All projects are done with the most creative work in the whole school! Good luck and have fun.
