Keep Durham Beautiful

On February 20th, 2026, the entire 6th grade and I went to Hillside Park to plant trees because there weren’t many trees there. When we were over there, we planted a lot of trees all over Hillside Park.

The steps to plant the tree were that we first had to dig a hole about as deep as the tree. Then we had to unpot the tree which is where you crush the roots to get it out. Then we had to remove dirt that was inside the root coil. Then we had to put it into the hole. Then we had to cover the hole back up with dirt and clay which we got from digging. Then we had to put mulch and the plastic protector on it.

Today we had a big snowstorm, and it made us trapped in our freezing houses. We had to learn online, which was super boring and no fun at all, but afterwards I got to go outside! Whilst playing in the snow and throwing snowballs at each other, my brother threw a big pile of snow in my face, and it was freezing! Afterwards, we stayed inside, drank hot chocolate, and played inside, and luckily, there were no power outages

Do you like mystery? Well then, join me on an adventure with all of these five-minute mysteries to solve! There are some action-packed, spooky, scary, and funny stories that you can read!

These stories are fun and hard to solve. Also, they’ll ask you a question at the end and make you doubt your thoughts, and have to rethink.

In my opinion, this is the best mystery book you could read because there are a lot of mysteries that are fun and quick that you can solve.

My absolute favorite scene, called Regina vs Kirk, which takes place on the 12th of March, is where there is a lawsuit about where someone was killed. And there is a debate between two lawyers, whose names are Mr Ford and Mr Seeley, to see if Mr Kirk killed a man in the name of Thorvald Heintzmann. Go find out more about this amazing mystery yourself!
