Keep donating coats for those who are unfortunate and remember there will be a BIG prize awarded! ______________________________ Help Wanted As you have probably noticed The Gator Gazette hasn’t had many stories so we need your help to get more. If you have any story ideas or stories then talk to Sam Agreste or go to www.TheGatorGazette.tk and see if your story could be in The Gator Gazette! Third Page Sneak Peak This is a sneak peak of the story “The Everyday Life of Gran Gran”, the rest of the story will be released in the next edition. Gran Gran is an elderly woman who lives with her husband, Gramps and her pet squirrel Skippy. They live on the west side of cookie village. Gran Gran seems like a sweet old lady but your way off! Gran Gran is really a secret agent with her sidekick Super Squirrel (Skippy)! Now About Skippy, he is a little squirrel with huge Buck Teeth That are uneven, and Skippy who is very hyper also has some issues. For instance he attacks at anyone who isn’t his owner without warning. That’s what makes him such a great sidekick. By: Ben L. Fourth Page Smarty Pants In 6A people have been fighting for the title of the class “smarty pants”. Before the first edition of The Gator Gazette Brianna Scali was the class smarty smarty but then I believe Ben L. took Brianna’s title. Now I am just some writing on a piece of paper so I might be wrong but as much as I remember Ben took Brianna’s title. That’s not even the bad part Ben wasn’t even happy that he took Brianna’s title, he just sat there. Then it was hard to remember because the title went from Abby to Jake C. then back to Ben and then someone else. By:???
