Snow Times By Hagen Taylor A boy named Logan built me. At night, I came to life. I want to tell you this story. One snowy night I heard a noise, it was a snow pup, and his name was Wild.

The next few weeks the weather changed. I said good bye to Logan and Wild. I’ll be back next year! Snowman By Logan Seal Once I was a tiny piece of snow falling on the ground.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! From, Julio Mercado Dear those who read, During April Fool’s Day, my dad pranked me by getting a chocolate bunny and f...
