A Recent SOS message at South!
Mighty Panthers,
We are currently conducting an urgent (and slightly dramatic) search for our beloved classroom crab, who has mysteriously gone missing after being “borrowed.” At this time, we are unsure if he is on an adventure, a spiritual journey, or simply refusing to come back.
Description:
- Species: Extremely charming crab
- Personality: Loves long walks on the beach, deep conversations, and apparently… freedom
- Interests: Fish both as friends and snacks
- Favorite activities: Hanging out with Mrs. Trapp’s class, learning new things, and making his little crab brain grow bigger every day
If you have seen him, are currently harboring him, or know of his whereabouts, please let us know immediately. No questions asked.
Let’s bring our crab home so he can continue his educational journey and ease his best friend's worry.
Thank you for your cooperation in this critical crustacean situation. (Here is a photo of a crab similar but Mr. Crab is neon orange with a yellow belly. And his eyes pop out a little more from the head.**Picture included for identification purposes.)
Sincerely,
The Very Concerned Crab Community
UPDATE:
Mr. Crab has been successfully located. Turns out his Spring vacation lasted a bit longer than everyone else's. Not to worry though....he plans to be back to school tomorrow.
They both went all in and kissed a donkey—yes, really! Even though Mrs. Wheeler drew the back end, she handled it like a champ and did a terrific job.
These ladies don’t always get the recognition they deserve for everything they do for students and staff, so this is a special Monday morning shoutout to them.
I’m truly proud to work alongside such dedicated, spirited leaders. #PantherPride
