Meili, 7½,

writes from Fredericton  NB:

 "I like gymnastics because it's a lot of fun and you get to go on the trampoline and you get to have "pit" fights too. I have three more things that I really love, which are piano, Chinese dance and Chinese language. With piano, you get to play solos at the concert and duets. I really love to perform Chinese dance for my parents and to wear costumes. I want to speak Chinese so I can speak with my friends and some day go back to China."


Jade, 8

lives and plays hockey in Lake Country, BC.  She writes:

“What I like best is hockey. What I like about it is there’s lots of action while the players are playing on the ice. When you play you have to wear lots of equipment. I really enjoy hockey and being on a team.”


"My name is Jenna-Lee, and I am 7½ years old"

My bestest thing to do in the whole wide world is gymnastics. I love to do roundoffs, trampoline, pike jumps, tuck jumps and straddle jumps. And best of all, I like to do gymnastics with my friends. I will try out for the gymnastics team this fall!”
