Ella’s Poll
Ella McWoof here with a report on the school elections. I’m doing an informal poll among the students to see which candidates they are leaning toward voting for. Let’s see what they have to say. Roberta: I am definitely voting for Cowabelle. And it’s not just because she’s my best friend either. I think she would make an awesome president – she is super talented and she always does lots of work around the school with her mother. I mean, who would know better how to run the council than the principal’s kid? Salley: Well, I like Cowabelle, but I think I’m probably going to vote for Polly Panda because I think it would be nice to have someone who is totally new to the role and hasn’t been so involved in the school. Stoogles: Um, okay, well, don’t tell Salley this because I know they didn’t get along so well last year, but I actually think I might vote for Purr-Cilla. It’s just that we worked together on council last year and she actually had some really good ideas. Sparky: Wow, this is tough because Cowabelle and Polly are … Read more
Roberta and Booger’s Compromise
So Booger decided to completely redo my girls’ soccer page because I used my scrapbooking supplies with lots of flower stickers and stamps, and Booger wanted it to look like a science diagram for his Anatomy of an Academy theme. I looked at it and it really had a lot of information, but I thought it just looked boring. There was no color or personality to it. So I asked Booger if we could use his idea of adding scientific labels to the pages, but maybe add a little bit of pizzazz. Booger said that might be interesting – I think he was starting to realize that his idea was missing something. So we decided that we would use Booger’s layout of the ‘scientific’ labels but we are going to add some neat images, lettering and colors to liven it up. We tried working together on one page and came up with a really neat look that still fit within Booger’s theme. So we’re going to do that will all the pages. And you know what? I actually think that Booger’s idea is pretty neat. It makes the yearbook more interesting.
School President Speeches: Polly Panda
Hi there. My name is Polly Panda and I am running for School President. I may not have as much experience on school council as some candidates, and I may be newer to this school than most of you, but I believe it’s those traits which makes me an excellent candidate to bring fresh new ideas to this student body. As some of you know, before I moved to Kinzville, I lived in the Big City. So you see I have the experience of having attended one of the largest schools in Webkinz World and seeing how things are run there. I would like to bring my experiences from the Big City to Kinzville Academy. And while I may be newer to this school than some of you, I feel that it is a testament to my character that I have been able to embrace the students of Kinzville Academy and make so many new friends here. The ‘Kinz have really become like my second family since I moved here and I love being part of this school. I will bring that passion for Kinzville Academy and that sense of friendship to the position of president. I believe that an … Read more
School President Speeches: Purr-Cilla
Well, I guess I need no introduction. I mean, I’m sure you all know exactly who I am. Last year I ran for school president and I came so close to winning that Salley Cat knew she had to ask me to join her on school council. I very graciously accepted her offer and although she wasn’t always the easiest ‘Kinz to work with, we did manage to get a lot done. In case you need a little reminder, last year Ms. Cowoline (my opponent’s mother) decided to cancel the Halloween parade, a longstanding tradition at our school. Despite the fact that some members of the council (who shall remain nameless) wanted to simply disobey our principal’s wishes and show up in costume anyway, I came up with a plan to start a petition to convince Ms. Cowoline to allow us to continue our beloved tradition and it worked. In helping to plan the Fall Fair I was instrumental in introducing realistic budgeting to your *ahem* president’s unrealistic plans. I also came up with a fair way to organize volunteers so that we’d have enough to handle all the jobs that needed doing. And for last year’s school trip it … Read more
School President Speeches: Cowabelle
Hello. I am Cowabelle Cowoline and I hope you will consider me for President of Kinzville Academy School Council. Ever since I was a little kid, I have helped my mother at Kinzville Academy. Whether it’s getting the classes ready in the summer, or organizing parent/teacher evenings or helping to build sets and make costumes for school plays, I understand the inner workings of a school and I can bring that knowledge to the table when it comes to planning school council events. Besides helping my mother with the running of the school, I have also been very involved with the school in my own right. I take part in the school plays, I volunteer for school events and I am a very dedicated, driven student, always striving for excellence. I have a great attendance record, and I also like to take part in extra-curricular activities and team sports. If you want a candidate who knows how Kinzville Academy really works, and who takes an active role in the school, then I am the one you should vote for.
Ms. Stripes’ Bathroom
Ms. Stripes said that for her smallest room, she wanted to get a lot of kick for her KinzCash. She asked us to create a glamorous bathroom where she could get ready to face the day. She figured that by creating an environment that felt extra-special, she would walk out the door feeling great every morning. That is the kind of assignment my brother and I adore! We went with the Beach House Wallpaper and Campkinz Cabin flooring. You may think Cabin Flooring doesn’t sound very glam, but look how well it goes with the decadent bath we installed, the Internal Reflections Pond. That was our big focal point. Then we added some pieces from the Mega Modern theme. We knew that we had to finish off with a couple of real statement pieces and that is where the Wondrous Wall Chandeliers and the Hippo on a Half Shell painting came in. They gave us the WOW! factor we were looking for. Ms. Stripes is thrilled with it! Elwin and I are hoping that maybe with such a fabulous place to start her day she might lighten up a bit … Read more
Roberta and Booger: At Odds
Oh, wow. I think Booger is turning into a control freak! He just came to me and said that I have to redo my yearbook page on the girls’ soccer team. That is so unfair! I did a really cool page! I brought in my own scrapbooking supplies from home and I used lots of ribbons and stickers and cute stamps. You should have seen how awesome it was. Then Booger looks at it and says that it doesn’t fit with his theme, ‘Anatomy of an Academy’. Well, I think that’s a stupid theme anyway so why should I have to do my pages in his silly format? I think flowers and bows are much prettier for the girls’ soccer team, right? I told him that I wasn’t going to do redo it and you know what he said? He said he would just have to do it himself then! I said I wasn’t going to let him touch my page and so I packed it into my binder and took it home. I know he can just print off the pictures again and do it himself anyway, but it was the principle. I worked hard on that page and … Read more
Polly Panda: President?
Guess what? I made a big decision. I watched Salley and Stoogles and even Purr-Cilla accomplish so much in school council last year and now Cowabelle is running for president, and she seems to be involved in everything. So I’m thinking maybe it’s time for me to step and try to get more involved at school and I figured, if I’m going to do it, I might as well do it all the way. My sister Amanda always says, “Go bold or go home.” So I decided that I am going to run for School President this year! I’m kind of nervous about it. It’s a pretty big deal, putting yourself out there in front of everyone. And what if I actually won? There is a lot of responsibility that comes with a role like that. But you know what? If we let our fears hold us back we would never do anything. I will never know if I can do this unless I actually try. And I think that I would make a good president. My friends tell me that I’m a good listener and I think I have some pretty good ideas. So – I’m going to do … Read more

Ms. Stripes’ Kitchen
I must say, this project for Ms. Stripes is going really well. Elwin and I are just loving getting back into our old pattern of working together, and we’ve found her so easy-going as a client. It’s really starting to make me wonder what is going on at school because I talked to Nibbles again the other day and she is still so down on Ms. Stripes. Elwin and I have been talking and we’re thinking that somehow we have to get to the bottom of this. Anyway, on to the fun stuff! Ms. Stripes says she loves to cook and entertain. The thing is, she has a dining room so she said that even though she wanted an eat-in kitchen, she wasn’t looking for anything overly formal. She said a casual space where she could hang out and enjoy coffee with her friends (funny, Sparky SWEARS that it is absolutely inconceivable that Ms. Stripes has any friends), but with plenty of workspace for experimenting with new recipes. We used the Bamboo Print Wallpaper and the Golden Hardwood Flooring to create a light, airy feel. We added a couple of stainless steel appliances as well as a Culinary Cat Counter, … Read more
Ms. Stripes’ Bedroom
Another assignment from the new teacher in town and another day we’re left scratching our heads at why the kids seem to think she’s so mean. Ms. Stripes gave us carte blanche to do her bedroom but she said that she found the color green to be really calming. She also said that she’s always dreamed of having a fireplace in her bedroom. We went for a few items from the Green Leaf theme and combined them the Bamboo bed. We added a Flower Power Sectional in one corner and we fulfilled Ms. Stripes wish for a fireplace with a Clean and Green Fireplace in another corner as well as a big closet for all her clothes. Again, she just loved our work! We were so relieved. I can’t understand how the kids think she’s so negative. We seem to get nothing but positive feedback from her.
Ms. Stripes’ New Living Room
Well, Elwin and I were a bit nervous about our first room design for Ms. Stripes. We haven’t exactly heard the best things about her from the ‘Kinz. We started with the Living Room and Ms. Stripes said that she really liked soft colors so we decided to go with the Green Leaf Wallpaper. Once we put it up we realized that it would go really nicely with some of the new pieces from the Beach House theme so we used the Weathered Wood End Tables and Coffee Table. We added two white sofas and a pair of Wicker Chairs then we tied in the blues with the soft aqua Plush Rug and as an accent chair, the Trading Card Condo Lounger. We made a workspace in the corner with a Navigator’s Desk and a stately Unbirthday Party chair which picked up the same shade of blue. When it came time to show Ms. Stripes the end result we were so scared she wouldn’t like it after all the negative stuff we’ve heard about her, but it turned out that she loved it. She was so sweet about it … Read more
Roberta, the Better Editor?
Okay, to take my mind off of my ultra-strict new teacher I decided I wanted to get involved with one of the extracurricular projects at school this year and I thought that the yearbook committee might be the thing for me. You know how much I love crafting, right? I was hoping that I could get on the art team for the yearbook and help lay it out, and choose pictures and images. The only thing is that Booger is the editor this year and he’s got some pretty weird ideas. The theme that Booger wants to go with is ‘Anatomy of an Academy.’ What??? He says that he wants to do a section on each program in the school, like math, and science and history. He says that we can lay it out like a science lesson and have lots illustrations and pictures for each section, with labels like in a scientific diagram. But who is going to want to read an anatomy of anything? You know it’s just because Booger is into all that science stuff that he thinks that’s a good idea. I really think I could do a better job editing the yearbook than Booger. I … Read more
