on ARK
By Amber Park, Nicole Mastnak,
Meagan Bragg and Shannon White
The Ark was created by Sallianne
Patch. She has worked very hard
and a success has happened.
The Ark has a lot of activities, a
juke box, a pool table,' a booth, a
ping pong table. The rules are: no
alcohol, no fighting, no smoking,
no swearing and no drugs.
The Ark is for kids, 12 and up
and is run by volunteers. Meagan's
mom is the volunteer co-ordinator.
At the grand opening, Amber and
Meagan had fun. Amber had pillow
fights with Lindsay and Kendall
and Brooklyn Wheeler. We made
jello sculptures. Amber made a
castle and Meagan made an
automobile. People went to
different activities.
Nicole Mastnak, Amber Park,
Meagan Bragg have been studying
The Ark for quite some time, says
Nicole. Most people go to The Ark;
it is very popular. The Ark is a big
building, says Nicole. And you can
dance. It is fun ... come to The Ark.
