Story by: Destiny– Age 10

 

Tumbling is a very fun sport and it is interesting. Our tumbling teacher , Mr.Toni,  teaches us lots of stuff like how to do backflips. He also teaches us different stretches before we tumble. One of them I learned is the butterfly and several  different arm stretches.  I am  learning how to  do a backflip. Tumbling also is a good sport for people who want to be a cheerleader now or in the future. One of the things I like about tumbling is that you can just be yourself and like what you’re doing. If you like to flip, why don’t you join tumbling.

The Boys & Girls Club of Freeport & Stephenson County on October 7th, 2008 took this Pink Campaign to Freeport High School. As one of their mentors is a breast cancer survivor, we wanted help promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We had members of  SMART Girls hand out Pink Ribbons and Candy on Monday, October 7^th at Freeport High and asked that all students support Breast Cancer Awareness by wearing pink or wearing pink pins on the next day. We collected names in a scrapbook for all those who wore Pink or a pin. We thought it was a success, there were more than 90 signatures in our scrapbook.
