Hi! My name is Melissa. I am 11 years old.
My Birthday is on January 6th. I did this Power

famous people from the past. I have a pet dog and
her name is Princess. I enjoy skipping rope,
playing soccer baseball with my friends and much
more. I really like going to school because it is
a lot of fun and I learn a lot. I hope I taught
you a lot about the Historic Red River Trail!
