Welcome Back, Mandy!

Hi everyone,

Mandy is back from having her baby and will be working on chickaDEE magazine again. I will be off, spending my summer with my family and friends. I have really enjoyed reading your letters and receiving your wonderful, creative art work. Please keep sending them!

Let’s learn more about Mandy:

What do you like to do in the summer?

I love spending as much time as possible outdoors. I live near Lake Ontario so I walk to the beach with my family every weekend. We have picnics, walk on the boardwalk and play in the park!

What are your favourite summer sports?

I love to go swimming. There’s nothing like jumping into the cold water on a very hot day! I also love riding my bike.

In the summer digest issue of chickaDEE, there was a puzzle on wilderness nicknames. What’s yours?

My name is Mischevious Newt! I think that names fits me really well because I love playing tricks on my family and friends!

What’s the best part about working on chickaDEE magazine?

The best part is getting letters from our readers and finding out what they are interested in. Please send us letters and say hello!
