What's something fun that you do that keeps you active and fit?
Many people do active things just because they are fun.  Write about your favorite activity that you love to do that is also good for you.  It can be a sport, a group activity, or even a job you do around the yard.
So what's your thing? Mountain biking? Basketball? Building a tree fort?

Party Animals!

Write a party invitation for an animal's first birthday. You choose the animal.  You are inviting your friends and family, so the invitation does not have to be formal.  Include a sentence about how the animal has changed in one year.

Penn Township's Rescue 6 Ambulance Team

Have you ever had an emergency where you or a family member needed to go to the Emergency Room? If so, write about what happened.  What was the emergency? Who helped you and your family? Where did you go? How did you feel when it started? How did you feel after it was all done?
If you haven't had and emergency, first thank your lucky star, then write about what you think would happen if you had to call 911.
