Answer to last week’s RIDDLER: Anchor
Name: Ms. Dana James
Position: Head of the English Department/English Teacher
Age: Don’t ask personal questions, she’s a lady and a lady never tells her age.
Favourite(s):
Interests/Hobbies:
Ms. James has many hobbies and interests. Whether it’s reading a good book or having a good time out with her friends and family, one could say she has a very active social life. Music is her passion. She has the vocals that could rival any singer and would surely secure her spot on HIS choir. Ms. James has recently picked up playing the pan, proving that it’s never too late to start something new and that you’re always learning. Known to the students at the Princess Margaret School as the “Praying Lady” and by faculty and staff as “Saint James” her aliases are a testament to how she showcases her beautiful relationship with God and is not afraid to praise and honour HIM in everything that she does.
About:
Ms. James has the longest career at the Princess Margaret School. Having been a teacher at the school for 20 plus years, we can also trace her roots to way back when she herself was a student walking the corridors. Fun fact, Ms. James started her teaching career at Princess Margaret and has been here ever since. Over the years, she has touched the lives of many with her great work ethic and her priceless gift of knowledge, lessons and wisdom. She is the backbone of the English Department and one of the most valuable assets to the Princess Margaret School’s team. Thank you, Ms. James, for being a life long learner and an awesome teacher!
Hey, cubs! It’s your favorite undercover reporter here, ready to spill some tea that’s hotter than the school cafeteria pizza rolls.
Picture this: A certain English teacher’s class, and what’s the number one rule? Come prepared! Yet here we are, watching students roll into class with nothing more than vibes and…questionable accessories. Forget pens, notebooks, or even a calculator. These students are sporting the real essentials, right? Let’s break it down:
The “I’ll Wing It” Crowd
First up, we’ve got the students, who have managed to forget their textbook for the third time this week. But guess what they did bring? Lip gloss, sunglasses, hoodies, headbands and the newest contraband, baby powder. You know, just in case the class turns into an impromptu runway show. Priorities, right?
The “Organized Chaos” Champion
And let’s talk about the crew for whom the Sprayground backpack is more like a black hole. No binder, no pencil case, but they do have an empty shoe box in there to “hold the shape”. Maybe they’re planning on showing the class how empty vessels make the most noise? Too bad that won’t help with the science quiz they forgot to study for.
Moral of the Story?
Hey Wildcats, we love the creativity, but maybe next time, let’s swap out the shoe polish and lip gloss for, I don’t know, a pen and a notebook. You never know when that pop quiz will strike. Keep your cool. Get a clue.
Until next time, stay sharp…because I see you!
XOXO,
Your favourite cub scout
