Abigail Long

Abigail is an 8 year-old 3rd grader at Spiritus Sanctus Academy in Plymouth. She wrote about how much she loves to bake. “I like baking because you get to make things that look good and unique. I like measuring things. It’s kind of likePhoto math and you’re baking while doing math. You get to see what your skills can actually do.”

Rishwant loves airplanes. He is 7 years old and goes to Eastover Elementary School in Bloomfield Hills. “Do you know who invented airplanes,” asks Rishi? “The Wright Brothers got the idea for the airplane from a little toy helicopter. After a few days the helicopter got broken but they built another one in their shop. They even got ideas from their bicycle shop.”

Annie attends Knapp Forest in Grand Rapids and is nine years old. She loves tigers and knows a lot about them. “Now let me tell you all the amazing things about tigers. Tigers are not just big scary animals, they play an important part in the food chain. If it weren’t for tigers and other big cats, we would have way too many animals we could not control.”
