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 Schools mascot is a BRICKIE.

We are very excited to be participating in this project. We cant

wait to solve your clues. We hope you like ours.

Thanks for Reading,

Ridge View 5th grade class
