The Upper Peninsula is a wonderful place to visit. If snow, snowboarding, or skiing is your forte then you would want to come in the winter to see the spectacular ski jumpers in a competition. The Upper Peninsula is home to the Pine Mountain Ski Jump. The ski jump is the largest artificial ski jump in the entire world. Top jumpers and speculators from around the world arrive here to observe and participate in the fabulous competition of ski jumping. 
On the other hand if you enjoy warm weather and nature then Spring as well as Summer are the time to come. The U.P. has over 300 waterfalls ranging from 5 feet to 48 feet and up in vertical drops. If you truly want to see these magnificent waterfalls at their finest then come in Spring. Even the smallest of waterfalls seem to come alive.

    Mrs. Sutton's English 10 Class Kingsford, Michigan USA

    We are a sophomore English class of 28 students. (One of us is a foreign exchange student from Italy.) Most of us are 15 or 16 years old.

    We live in Kingsford, MI, a small rural town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our school, Kingsford High School, has a population of about 650 students. Most of the students in our school come from middle class backgrounds of Caucasian descent. Our school's mascot is a Flivver car because in the early 1900's, these Ford cars were mass produced  in our part of Michigan.  Our town is named after Edwin G. Kingsford, one of the leaders of the Ford Motor Company.

    One of the main employers in our area is Verso, a paper mill. Other large employers are the Dickinson County Hospital and a hospital for military veterans called the Oscar G. Johnson Medical Center. 

    Because we live where snow covers the ground seven months of the year, most of us know how to ski, snow shoe, ice fish, snowmobile, and ice skate. Those of us who don't like winter sports enjoy the warmer months of the year by swimming in the lakes and rivers, hunting or fishing in the woods, hiking on trails, or just hanging out in town with our friends. 

    At our school, we can participate in many sports like football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, track, cross-country, basketball, and softball. We can also join all sorts of school activities like student council, drama, choir, band, class government, and so much more! Those of us who don't like sports or school activities spend our free time playing video games, listening to music, and shopping.
