Salley’s Brilliant Idea
November has never been my favorite month. I really like October, I totally love December – but November is just kind of an obstacle between Halloween and Christmas. So that’s where I got my brilliant idea to make November exciting. I suggested having some kind of event and the rest of the council (Stoogles and Purr-Cilla) thought it was a totally great idea (OK, so Purr-Cilla didn’t say ‘totally great’, but I know that deep down she’s on board). We talked about several options. Here’s what we came up with: Bake sale (Purr-Cilla said, “We just did this. We’re probably going to have one before Christmas. What is it with you and bake sales?” I like brownies, OK? Sheesh.) Craft Show (Stoogles was against this one. “What am I going to do at a craft sale? Buy a teapot cozy? A pinecone with eyeballs?” Wow. Everyone’s a critic.) Fall Fair (no one really had anything bad to say about this idea. Because it’s AWESOME!) Field trip to the Henrietta Hippo Theater of the Performing Arts (Another popular option – who doesn’t like a field trip?) Talent Show (this was … Read more

Roberta’s costume
Hey, gang – it’s me, Roberta!!! I just wanted to thank all of you so much for helping me choose my Halloween costume and voting in the poll last weekend! I counted up all of the votes and guess which costume you chose for me? I’m a Mermaid! Cool, huh? I had so much fun at the Halloween Parade today. I guess I have all of you to thank for that too! You all did such a good job on that petition for Ms. Cowoline. I can’t wait to go out trick or treating with my friends tonight. I just hope it’s not too cold outside – this Mermaid costume is kind of chilly. Maybe I should bring my jacket. Thanks again! I hope you all have fun tonight!
Halloween Parade!
Halloween Parade! By Ella McWoof I stopped by Kinzville Academy today to check out the annual Halloween Parade through the school. I remember back when I was at the old Academy, I just loved Halloween. We would start with the youngest classes and then make our way through the school, going into each class and collecting the students to add to our parade. By the time we got back to the front hall, the whole school was part of the parade. It was awesome seeing some of the younger kids dressed up in their costumes – they’d get so excited. So I was really looking forward to checking out some of the costumes this year and they did not disappoint! Ms. Cowoline even let them decorate the school. They did such a good job it’s scary! Cowabelle looks regal in this chic Pharoah costume. And Sparky could be the ‘After’ picture to Cowabelle – he’s all wrapped up in being a Mummy. Ewww! Stoogles is a creepy Zombie! That green, rotting face paint is freaking me out! … Read more
