KIDS SAY…

Every week we ask five students from a local school to answer a question on a worksheet.

This week the students are first graders at St. Joseph Grade School. This post is sponsored by Longview Bank.

Would you want to be a farmer? Why or why not?

Bailey Rose Darling: Because I can be around the cute animals.
