Forest Fire Staff

Ella Bowman, 11

“Something on my current wishlist is money and clothes. As I have gotten older, I have realized that I don’t have as many specific things that I want. I would rather have the money to be able to buy things when I want them, rather than thinking that could be enjoyable at the moment.”

Andrew Baker, 11

“My current wishlist for the holidays is money and gift cards. I recently lost my wallet and I am also saving up for a car. I would like fun patterned down shirts but the money is important.”

Katie Hottell, 11

“I want a new laptop for Christmas because the only I have currently is six years old. I want to be able to play games on it, but because it is so old I can’t effectively play a lot of games that I want to play.”
