Here is a shared writing poem about our town:

~The Important Thing About Redmond ~

The important thing about Redmond is,
it is my home.
It is a beautiful town with beautiful parks.
It has lots of farms around it.
It has a great indoor swimming pool.
It’s close to Smith Rock State Park.
It’s peaceful, and has everything we need.
But the important thing about Redmond is,
it is my home.
