Benifit for Ryan Rae

Who has heard of Ryan Rae? OOOOOOO PICK MEEEE PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!!!!
Ok so Ryan Rae is a little ten-month-old baby who was born with some optical thing which makes it so she is blind in one eye and going blind in the other. So she has to have a surgery which can only be done in China and it costs 10,000 dollars to be there for one week and the want to be there for six weeks so they needed to somehow come up with 60,000 dollars plus the money for the operation.
So how did they raise money? They told people!! Hurray for voices!! So they ended up having a dinner, but not just any dinner, a dinner with the LINCOLN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHOIR PREFORMING!!!!!!! Yep and that pretty much sums it up right?
So we went we warmed up, Ms. Neilson told us where to stand, kids tried to break into the lockers, then we went and sang! We sang 4-5 songs, Cool yule, Jingle Bell Rock, Jingle bell Twist, We wish you a merry Christmas, and the Cool Yule Reprise.

Three singing thingies

Scholarship

Sixth grade at our school has an orchestra, but I don't have a violin! Luckily the school now has a program to let kids who don't have violins be in the orchestra. You have to write an essay to be juged, if your essay was liked you could get a free violin for a year! So I wrote an essay, got it juged, and I won!! Now I have been going to orchestra for a while, and I am doing ok.
