THE HANNAH BRIDGETHE HANNAH BRIDGE

BY HANNAH MARTEENY

When Mr.Skarphol told the class about the bridges, immediately I had a new goal. I had to build a bridge. Then Mr. Skarphol told me, Peyton, Mckenna, Baylie, Robby, and Talia that we could do a bridge. I was so excited. A few days later, we got to look up which bridge we want. I chose the Hannah bridge not because of the exterior, but because of the name. Hannah. My name. When I saw the pictures, it was love at first sight. The Hannah bridge is beautiful and it has so many interesting facts, which I will now show you....
