One Character of a Dog

By Elana Van Arnam
Northfield Middle School, Grade 7

When we moved to Vermont ten years ago from Columbus, Ohio, we made many changes. It was quite a transition, moving from a very busy city where a mall and movie theater were only a walk away, to a quiet, rural town with a population of 5,500. We have a family of four, but decided we needed something more to complete the family. So we got a dog. A golden retriever puppy was what we settled on. When we arrived home from church one Sunday we had an ambitious and rambunctious puppy with us. We decided to name the golden ball of fluff Amos, after my father’s grandfather.

“Stella! Watch where you’re stepping!” Lacey yelled at me from behind. I looked down. I had just stepped an inch away from a beautiful sea shell. I looked up.

A Winter Tale

By Devon Lindner
Northfield Middle School, Grade 7

What will winter be like this year? Will there be five feet of snow, or just a dusting? I prefer lots of snow, for SKIING! Skiing is exciting, a workout, and an ultimate rush when there is a lot of snow. Whenever it snows I cannot wait for the ski slopes to open. I have a blast skiing. Skiing is the best.
