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.

Ms. Stripes’ Dining Room
 Elwin here, taking a break from a HUGE job that Hailey and I are working on – the redecoration of Ms. Stripes’ house. Today we’ve moved on to her dining room. One thing Ms. Stripes told us that was kind of surprising is that she loves to host fancy family dinners – but her family doesn’t live close by. Maybe that’s why she’s a bit grouchy with the kids in her class?Anyway, after some careful consideration, Hailey and I decided to keep the dining room simple and elegant. This is what we came up with:   I love the dark walls and floors, matched with the dark wood. My favorite part of this whole room would have to be the ottoman – talk about stylish! Ms. Stripes was extremely happy with our dining room makeover. What do you think, friends?

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
