My name is Sydney Rieckhoff and I am a 11 year old kid reporter. I’m in 6th grade , and I go to Franklin Middle School. I have a mom, Robyn, a dad, Bill, a little brother, Carter, and a dog, named Lizzie (who is a standard poodle). I love snow skiing and water skiing. I have a cabin in Minnesota where I spend a lot of my summer. My cousin, Shelby, comes over about every weekend. My other cousins are Drake,16,Luke,14,Shelby,12,Katie,8, and my littlest cousin Jack,6. We all spend a lot of time together. I’m a kid reporter for Scholastic News and have covered most of the Presidential election. I have been lucky enough to meet and interview Hillary Clinton, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Rudy Guillani, Barack Obama, and John Edwards. I’ve also met Elizabeth Edwards, Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, actor Kevin Bacon, Merideth Viera, Taylor Swift and a lot more cool people. My grandpa owns a vegetable market on Highway 30 west. It is called Morgan Creek Market and I work there a lot. I pick vegetables and run the cash register.Thats a little bit about me hope you read my blog! Keep checking it out on http://www.gazetteonline.com. It should be really cool!

Dear Sydney,
I’m an editor in Taiwan. And I’m editing a book about Throgh the Looking Glass.
I saw a pic about Alice Statue on your web site.
I love it so much and I want to put the photo in our book.
I just want to make children learn more and feel interested.
Would you please give me the permission to use the photo?
Sure, I will mark out where the pic comes from(your name or your website).
If you’re willing, because our company needs a more formal statement about the permission, would you please reply me in a more official way?
(especially claim that the photos are your original work and you give us the permission to use them.)
Just a few sentences is okay.
After the book is published, I will send one copy for your kindness.
Please reply me soon by e-mail and thank you so much!
Best Wishes
Angela
