Howdy from Austin, Texas!
We area private school called Oakmont. Our class is a 3rd/4th multiage. Austin is the Capital city of the big state of Texas. We are considered in the southwest. We are the home of the UT Longhorns (hook em)! Because we are so close to Mexico, we have a lot of great Mexican food. Austin has the largest colony of fruit bats in North America. Lance Armstrong lives here and this is the home of Dell computers.
