    • Good Evening AJ,

      Myrtle Beach has some of the whitest sands on the East Coast. I bet you had a blast with your friends and family at Myrtle Beach.

      I am glad to hear that you wrestle in the Garden Spot Wrestling program. Wrestling is a sport that teaches you so much about teamwork, hard work, and good sportsmanship.

      Thank you AJ for telling me a little bit about yourself.

      Sincerely,

    • Good Evening Jose,

      Lancaster City has a lot of great restaurants and other forms of entertainment like the Lancaster Barnstormers baseball team.

      I agree that exercise only makes your heart stronger and more efficient during short and long periods of exercise.

      Thank you Jose for taking the time to tell me a bit a little about yourself.

    • Good Evening David,

      I will try to do my best to provide the most fun & exciting P.E. games at New Holland Elementary School.

      The New Holland Fair sounds amazing. What a super way to bring the New Holland community together through eating sweet cotton candy, yummy funnel cakes, and high speed roller coasters.

      Thank you David for taking the time to complete your assignment.

  6. I went to Hershey park this summer and went on a lot of fun rides and did some fun games and won a lot of stuffed animals. I love to go to the new Holland buffet. I like to go to the new Holland pool because me and my swim team has races there. it is important to stay fit because so your body can remain active and so it can run.

    • Good Evening Kaitlyn,

      This is my first time reading a post that mentions the New Holland buffet. What would you say would be your favorite food dish at the New Holland buffet? Many of the students tell me about Sal’s Pizzeria in New Holland & Yoder’s so I have not heard about the New Holland buffet.

      I am a big fan of the freestyle stroke in the game of Water Polo. I am not sure if New Holland Pool or the YMCA pool play a lot of Water Polo, but if you are good at swimming & throwing then that is the sport to give a try.

      I like how you said that your body needs to stay healthy so it can run. The human body is very much like a machine that needs to be taken care of through proper dietary habits and daily exercise. Exercise is kind of like WD40 for the joints & muscles of the body. If we neglect or ignore the need for daily physical activity, the body or “machine” starts to fall apart which could lead to more injuries and other health issues.

      Excellent post Kaitlyn! Thanks again for sharing.

  9. Hey Mr. Barrett. Where I vacationed this summer was at Rehobeth Beach. We camped there and went fishing. We camped under the bridge on the way if you’re going to Ocean City Maryland. One thing I love doing in New Holland is going to the New Holland Pool by the park. There are amazing diving boards there! Also, my favorite hobby is playing soccer. Every day I play soccer. Even if it’s by myself. Soccer is a big chunk of my life. Also, I think it is really important to stay physically active because your muscles wouldn’t work properly. That is a bit about me, and I hope you read this whole thing!

I love going to the yoders buffet I went there a lot this summer. The new holland fair is sometime around spring on main street there you can win stuffed animals eat lots of food and go on tons of rides. I always play upward basket ball in winter. I like going to Indiana because I love to see my great grandmother and the rest of my family.

  11. Hi my name is Grace McCarty and this summer I went to Ocean City Maryland. Me and my family and some really good friends go there basically every year to the beach. We go swimming and we go to the beach. We also visit some of my family that lives at Maryland. We had a amazing time spending time with friends and family at the beach. One of my favorite places to go to is the New Holland Parade. I love it because my family will come to the parade and i get to sit with my good friend. My favorite parts are the candy they throw out at you and I love seeing all the cool thing in the parade. I also like seeing if there is anyone I know in the parade. I ride horse and I love doing it. Me and my brother both take horse lesson’s. We go to the horse barn all the time and we love doing it. I think it is very important to stay active so I can stay healthy and make healthy chooses in my life. so that I never get unhealthy and I am always fit.

    Why do you think it is important to be physically active?
    if you don’t exercise you’ll become all fat and you’ll become sick.

  17. This summer I didn’t really go anywhere. But I did go camping. It was really fun. We won some stuffed animals in the Claw. When my sister won her first stuffed animal she had to use the bathroom, but didn’t tell anyone so she shoved her stuffed animal in her pants and yelled,” Guys! I’m peeing!” So we called her stuffed animal Pee-Moo.
    I like going to the track around the football field. This one time we went there and we ran who knows how many laps. It has so fun. We went because we had to practice for a 5k. It was fun because my mom kept pushing me to keep going. And I did the same.
    I do cheer and run. I also do girl scouts but that is not a sport.
    It is important to be phisically active so you can stay fit and healthy. It also keeps your blood flowing. That is one of the reasons I like gym.

    • Good Evening Autumn,

      Very funny story about your sister and the stuffed animal. Hahaha. I guess that stuffed animal never made it’s way home.

      I love hearing that your mom pushed you to run even harder. The Zombie Run 5K is on October 15th at Garden Spot H.S. & I have been thinking about running the race. Running is a fantastic cardiovascular exercise that is great for the body.

      Thank you again for taking the time to show how responsible you are as a New Holland student.

  18. Hi I am Nicklas this summer I went to the beach we went ocean fishing for the first time. Some really fun activities to do around New Holland are endless. You can go to the fair, you can go to the fishing derby, you can go to the farmers market, and the best is the pool. My favorite thing to do is the fishing derby with my friends. Some of my hobbies are playing outside, playing video games, and going hunting with family. Why I think P.E. is important is because you can stay fit and healthy. Hope you like what I wrote to go on your blog.

    sincerely,
    Nicklas
