Lodge 47, Seaton youth ready for skating party Hello! Can you believe it snowed again in February? We got the 3rd and the 4th off from school! I had so much fun in the snow and ice. A couple of weeks back, it was my birthday. I got a bluetooth speaker, an mp3 player, and lots of money. We made really good sausage on my birthday weekend. Here soon, it will be Valentine’s Day. We get to have a Valentine’s Day party at school. It will also be spring break coming up in March. I can’t wait to get off from school even longer. One more
thing, on Sunday, February 20, we get to eat pizza and go to the roller skating rink. See you all next month! Fraternally Travis Ordogne, age 10 —SPJST—

Lodge 47, Seaton youth excited about February activities Dear Vestnik Readers, I had fun over the weekend. The weekend was extra long. We had two snow days. I cannot believe that the groundhog saw his shadow. I cannot believe it because I want to play soccer again and now I will have to wait a longer time till spring. On February 5, it was my mom’s birthday. Tomorrow is the 100th day of school. I cannot wait. I get to dress up like a 100-year-old guy. It will be fun. I will be doing 100 things. I cannot wait to watch the Super Bowl. The Bengals and the Rams made it to the Super Bowl. I hope the Rams win it. And on February 14, it is Valentine’s Day. I cannot wait till the valentine party at my school. We are going to hand out valentine cards. Fraternally, Andrew Ordogne, age 6 —SPJST—
