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!
