To the Editor:
 This is the sixth grade of Upsala Elementary School and we’re here to say we made our book fair goal of $9,000. We made over that goal—it was $9,914.
 We really appreciate all who have helped with the bigger, better book fair. Thank you for helping us make our goal. We are grateful for your support. It is a blessing to live in a community such as Upsala.
 The money raised will pay for our class field trips to Deep Portage Environmental Camp, Duluth and St. Paul. In Upsala, things are always looking up. We really hope next year’s book fair is as good as this year’s, and maybe better.
 Thank you for helping our class make it’s goal. Thank you for supporting our book fair. See you next year.—Upsala’s sixth grade class.
