Nibbles Sees a Ghost!
By Salley Cat We had a bit of a mystery on our hands today, readers. Nibbles came running into school absolutely freaking out. When she was walking to school this morning she swore she saw a ghost in the trees near her house. She was shaking like a leaf. She said she couldn’t go home after school – she just couldn’t. I knew that there had to be some logical explanation. It is close to Halloween after all so I thought maybe what she thought was a real ghost was actually just somebody’s decorations. But Nibbles insisted that the ghost was flying through the trees! Freaky, huh? After school she was so scared about walking home I said I’d walk with her and we’d figure this thing out. Our walk home was completely uneventful. That is, until we got to the trees by her house. She was still really shaky when all of a sudden, she screamed and pointed. I turned to look at what she was pointing at and there it was. I saw it too! Through the trees a wispy white figure swayed back and forth. Nibbles didn’t have to tell me twice – we were … Read more

School Council Minutes – October 25
Recorded by: Stoogles, Vice President Re: Emergency Meeting of School Council continued Called by: Salley Cat, President In attendance: Salley Cat (see above), Stoogles (see above) and Purr-cilla, Treasurer This meeting has been called by Salley Cat to share our ideas to convince Ms. Cowoline that the Annual Halloween Parade through the school should go on this year, even though we lost a lot of learning time putting on the play last month. Salley’s idea: We should secretly pass the word around the school that everyone should just show up on Halloween in their costume and Ms. Cowoline will see that she has to let us hold the parade. PROS: Everyone would get to wear their costumes. CONS: We probably wouldn’t get to have the parade because Ms. Cowoline would be pretty mad and we would get in a lot of trouble for disobeying her. Stoogles’ idea: We should tell Ms. Cowoline that I suffer from a rare condition that requires me to dress up once a year and that I would feel more comfortable if all my friends supported me by dressing up as well. PROS: Well, despite the fact that I think this is an awesome idea, apparently … Read more
