Red Velvet Cake: One day after dinner my daddy said let’s do something and next thing I know he pulled out a bag of ingredients and said LETS MAKE VELVET CAKE!!! So we got all the ingredients and mixed them together and I and my sister took turns mixing. Next we preheated the oven and put the batter in a pan we put in in the oven and waited an hour.

From Carol J. Myers’ sixth-grade class at E.H. Markle Intermediate School

My best birthday was when my mom came to my fifth birthday party. Ron thought he would invite my mom to come. When she came, I was overjoyed. I ran and hugged her. We had a built in pool in the backyard. When we got in, it was freezing. I could barely stand the cold. Mom said when you stay in for a while, it would get warmer. That was my favorite birthday party. Crystal Groft

My best birthday was my last birthday. We celebrated it early in June even though my birthday is really August 6th because June is when school gets out. I had a sleepover and invited several buds over. We stayed up really late playing games and gossiping. We also watched movies. We thought we saw a ghost on the wall, but I don’t think it was really. This was one of the best birthday’s ever. Courtney Ledgard

My best birthday was when I was ten because I got a mountain bike that I love. Also, my mom baked me an awesome baseball cake. Jacob Werner

My best birthday would have to be about two years ago and my grandma took me to my mom’s work. We went out for Chinese for our lunch. She then took us back to her work and we met almost everyone there. It was so much fun! I’ll never forget about my best birthday! Gabby Newman
