October 3, 1997
Picture from September 25th
The third graders in Room 12 at Arbor Heights Elementary School in Seattle, Washington made a banner to send best wishes and encouragement to the skaters in Skate America. Those skaters are from our neighborhood high school, Chief Sealth, right here in West Seattle. They also had some things to say:
Don't quit, keep skating. - Justin K.
Don't get tired. - Heather
Wish you luck.- Vicha
We wish you luck, don't give up, no matter what, keep your spirits high. - Jessica
Have a nice time. - Sara
Hope you survive all this. - James
I'm so happy that you passed the Mississippi River. - Dao
Don't fall over the Rockies! - Veybol
Be careful of the snakes. - Miranda
Have lots and lots and lots and lots of fun. - Hannah.
Tell us what happens. - TJ
Don't give up! - Corey
Don't quit now, you are almost home! - Evelyn
Don't quit now. - Kara
I hope you make it home soon! - Joe
Don't quit! - Eduardo
I hope that you don't break a leg. - Olivia
Don't quit now, because you're six states away. - Jason
Don't waste your energy, get some rest, and if you feel fully loaded, go out and skate. - Jimmy
I like what you're doing for your school - it encourages little people like me, I like that - some day I will join, and remember, don't give up. - Demario
