Re: Emergency Meeting of School Council
Called by: Salley Cat, President
In attendance: Salley Cat (see above), Stoogles, Vice-president and Purr-cilla, Treasurer
Salley Cat called an emergency meeting to announce to the members of the school council some very disturbing news. Today Salley went to Ms. Cowoline’s office to ask her about the planned route for this year’s Halloween parade in which all the students dress in their costumes and march through the school.
Ms. Cowoline told Salley that she had decided that because we spend so much time last month working on the play we’re behind in our studies, so Ms. Cowoline has decided to do away with the parade this year. Apparently it will take up too much of our valuable learning time.
Salley told Ms. Cowoline that she couldn’t do that and when Ms. Cowoline asked why not, Salley apparently responded that – and I quote – “Well, she just couldn’t.” Ms. Cowoline said that “just couldn’t” is not a valid reason to hold the parade and that there is a lot of material that we still need to get through in class. Then Ms. Cowoline said that unless Salley Cat came up with a very persuasive argument to have the parade, the subject was closed and sent Salley back to class.
Which brings us to our meeting.
Purr-cilla pointed out that Salley’s response to Ms. Cowoline was ‘totally lame’ and if we want to get Ms. Cowoline to change her mind, she would have to do better than that. (I have to say – I kind of agree with Purr-cilla on this one. Oops – can I erase this? Uh oh.)
So Salley closed the meeting by announcing that we would reconvene tomorrow and share our ideas.
End of minutes
If you have the parade, you could negotiate and say that you’ll do EXTRA homework, be EXTRA good in class, and do a really good job and REALLY REALLY TRY during class. You could also say that doing the parade would keep your interest up – you wouldn’t be staring at the clock the whole day. I know the last day of school before winter break, absolutely NO ONE is actually paying attention by the end of the day (except maybe me, sometimes, depending on the lesson…). Anyone, you do have to be REALLY PERSUASIVE and come up with ligit reasons. Honestly, don’t you guys do any real work, like persuasive essays in English.
OH MY GAWSH! I hope Salley and Stoogles don’t get into a fight! :( Salley, you go girl! :D Purr-cilla, I kinda agree (scary!)… And Mrs. Cowoline! You HAVE to let them!! OH YEAH! (times 1,000,000,000,000)
