And Another Thing...

Well guys and gals, this is my first and only as your Sergeant-At-Arms on the blog, and the secret word/phrase will not be gentle.

Here's the thing, Eoin Colfer, well known author of the Artemis Fowl series (which I've never read) is branching out and broadening his horizons. He is currently in the process of writing the next installation in another well known series, and you must find out what it be. Successful completion of the objective will net you a dandy little prize, probably candy, or a swift kick in the pants. I don't know, it all depends on Mrs. Stanton's mercy. Once you think you found the secret, report to your nearest Mrs. Stanton or Ms. Dillon.

Ryan Schafte, signing off.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Great Job Readers!

Our election meeting yesterday was FABULOUS! Check out the pictures of your new officers you have elected for next year. Thank you to EVERYONE who came and voted. WAY TO GO READERS!

New Secret Word--TOO HARD!!!!!???

Dear Readers'

We have a new secret word provided to you by your Sergeant at Arms, Mr. Schafte! To make things a BIT more interesting this time I have HIDDEN the magic word inside of a book in the library.

No...you don't have to start looking in the backs of all the books, but you will be able to find it if you can figure out the clue.....

Your word isn't a dragon or a big black pot, but can be found inside a book....Yep....you bettcha!--Turns out this was too hard....hmmmm.....The word was hidden inside the book "The Dragon's Cauldron" by Lawrence Yep.

Good LUCK! Tell me the word and win a treat!
