My Last Day Of Fabulous Friday

Hi! My name is Nishtha. My Fabulous Friday was called "party planning". I am going to tell you what happened at my last Fabulous Friday. Mrs Hughes was my teacher.  We planned it for all the hard workers.  We gave them cookies and fruit punch.  We gave hats to them.  We made a poster for them and it said, "HAT'S OFF TO YOU!"  In the end, we got cookies and fruit punch too!  We all had lots of fun!

Our school and Leon Sheffield had the Gobble Wobble. It was a race.  There was a 5k race and a one mile fun run.  The first place winner was Turner Stepp for the Fun Run. Many kids got medals for running fast. There was pizza, drinks, and a cookie cake for everyone . The weather was perfect and it was a great day to run!
