Meet Erma, our citizen of the week!

Erma lives at 17492 Lark Lane along the edge of a beautiful green forest just outside Golden Valley. She has been enjoying the pretty scenery in her neighborhood since moving in on January 22, 2006.

If you ask Erma's friends for the first word that pops into their head when they think of her, they will most likely say "athletic." Erma's skill on the playing field has already earned her an impressive shelf full of trophies, and when you consider her dedication to practicing and keeping in shape, that collection is bound to keep on growing. When she's not busy with her classes at Millsberry Academy, Erma can usually be found driving a puck toward the net at the ice rink or scoring the winning touchdown in a football game at Peabody Park. During the summer, Erma spends a lot of time at the pool, and she always manages to fit in a few laps before indulging in a splashing fight or game of Marco Polo with her friends.

Erma doesn't spend all her time honing her athletic skills, though. She has many diverse hobbies and interests, which makes her a very knowledgeable person! That knowledge comes in handy when Erma is working on one of her favorite hobbies  crossword puzzles. She loves to spend an evening curled up with a tricky puzzle, listening to her favorite classical, polka, or oldies CDs.

Erma also enjoys working with animals and can often be found browsing the shelves of The Pet Palace, looking for toys to give to her pets. She recently picked up an adorable magenta, green, and violet toy for her favorite pet. They've already had a lot of fun playing together!

Thanks for being a fine citizen, Erma, and congratulations on being named Millsberry's citizen of the week!
