We are the entire seventh grade class (all 24 of us) at Barneveld School in Barneveld, Wisconsin . Mr. Ryan is our social studies teacher, and Mrs. Roenneburg, our librarian, is helping us. Barneveld is 30 miles west of Madison, Wisconsin’s capital. We are a small village of about 1000 people, with about another 1000 people living in the country. All of our kids go to one school. There are some big dairy farms right outside town, but most of our parents work in Madison , or in nearby Dodgeville, the home of the mail order company Lands End. Our school nickname is the Eagles, and we are kind of a sports-crazy place.
Our village was almost destroyed by a powerful tornado in 1984, but people and businesses rebuilt. We are real excited about having the chance to participate in this contest.
