This is what I love about living in the Fundy Albert area. I can attend Girl Guides, dance classes, skate, ski, swim and go to a small school. Some weeks, I feel tired and others I feel energetic!
We attend Girl Guides at the Riverside Recreation Center on Tuesday nights. Most of the people who join go to my school. We do crafts, games, cook and learn different skills. We go to different outings, like sleepovers, once a year. We earn different badges to sew on our sashes.
We also go to dance at the Steeves House Museum in Hillsborough on Monday, Friday, and Saturdays. I do Ballet, Jazz and Acro. I participate on the Comp Team. So, I do extra classes like strengthening. Our instructor is Emma Llewellyn. My group is all elementary aged kids. I like to dance because a lot of my friends go too and we have a lot of fun.

Image of Jayda dancing with Pointe Taken Dance by Lindsay Butland. We can skate at the Hillsborough arena or at the pond below the Rec. Center. In Riverside at the pond, there’s a campfire that we can roast hot dogs and marshmallows on. Anyone can go and it’s completely free.
The fourth thing I go to is Poly Mountain to ski. Sometimes we go night skiing, and we go right after school. Other times, my mom picks me up early and we go for the day. A lot of people, both our friends and family, come with us. Sometimes I feel tired and my feet hurt.
In the summer, we swim in Fundy but in the winter, we go to Sussex. It takes 15 minutes to drive to Fundy, and it takes an hour to go to Sussex. The Sussex indoor pool is filled with chlorine water, and Fundy’s outdoor pool is salt water. I don’t like the saltwater pool because it hurts my eyes.
Lastly, I love going to a small school like Riverside Consolidated School. Everyone knows each other and are friendly. We also get to go on a lot of field trips because it doesn’t cost as much money. We have smaller classes, so we get more attention. Our school is a great school!
Fundy Albert is a great place to live. Anyone can be part of Girl Guides, dance, skate, ski, swim and go to the small school. I’m grateful to live in the Fundy Albert area!
