We got to tie dye t-shirts for the Moxie Day Parade! I love tie dying. It was so fun, some people did 1 shirt and some people did 6 shirts. We got to mix the colors, and use the rubber bands to tie them up. After we dyed them we took them home and had to wait a day. We rinsed them out and they were so cool to look at. My mom and my sisters and mine had a spiral in the middle! We used all different colors like purple and green. We had to do it outside because it&#8217;s really messy! We will be in the parade on July 8, come see us walk and we have horses too! After tie dying we got to walk with a member of Sabattus Public Works, he showed us how to mark the water basins. We got to spray paint on the road! August 13 we will do our public speaking presentation and two people practiced while we met outside. It was about the life cycle of the butterfly called the Painted Lady. It was a fun day and it was sunny!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>By Bailey S.
