Subject: [KIDPROJ] Landmark into letter from Gretna Elementary
Hi, we are 4th graders from Gretna, Nebraska. We all attend Gretna Elementary, a.k.a. the Dragons. There is one elementary, one middle school and one high school in Gretna, but we continue to grow and grow!! Right now, there are 4 to 5 sections of each grade level. The population of our small community is about 2,250 right now. Gretna is about 35 miles from Lincoln and 20 miles from Omaha (we are almost in between the two.) During June, the town celebrates wtih Gretna Days. It is really fun! A fundraiser that the elementary does each year to raise money for the school is a Jog-a-thon. The students collect money from sponsers who pay them an amount for each lap around the track that they complete. This year the Jog-a-Thon was so successful that we bought new playground equipment. It is so cool! Our football team was ranked number 2 this year. The games are a great way to spend a weekend night!
We are rookies to this project, but are so excited to get started! Have fun! We know we will!
The 4th grade Dragons
