The Landmark Game '98 Ridge View Elementary School Hobart, Indiana   Portuguese | Spanish Date: Thu, 15 Jan 1998 15:34:43 -0500 From: Karen Kuyachich >kuyachichclass@hobart.k12.in.us< Subject: introduction Landmark game To: KIDPROJ@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU Hi, from Hobart, Indiana We are a fifth grade class with 21 students. We have full inclusion so we have special needs children full time in our classroom. We have 4 elementary schools (K-5), 1 middle school (6-8), and 1 high school (9-12). Our school spirit colors are Purple and Gold. Everyone here loves football. We have won many state championships. Hobart is in the northwest corner of the state. In the year 1872, James Guyer started Hobart's first large industry, a brick tile works. Six years later, Joseph Nash bought land on Michigan Avenue and built a brick works. About one hundred people worked in the brickyards. By 1890, the Kulage Brick and Tile Works and W.B. Owens Hollow Porous Clay Tile Works were shipping as many as 60 train carloads of products each month to all parts of the United States. Many large buildings were made fireproof with products from these plants. That's why the Hobart City School¹s mascot is a BRICKIE. We are very excited to be participating in this project. We can¹t wait to solve your clues. We hope you like ours.
