Animal of the Day - Atlantic Canary


With the school year barely two weeks old, Cody was busted for turning in a plagarzied paper that Mr. Shockley had seen handed in every year for the past 5. Having much to lose, Cody immediately started singing. Soon, Principal Eckley knew where he had gotten it, how much he had paid, and who else was was a customer.
Very soon, the reverberations of his song would shake the entire school.

Animal of the Day - Pig


Coach Oinkley began his 5th year running the school's football program. It was going to be a promising year for the "Fighting Humans" at Margaret Mead High School. Eckley was making him teach a basic history class for some reason, but it wasn't a big deal.. He still had his old lesson plan for when he first started.

Animal of the Day - Hippopotamus


Principal Eckley had to contend with yet another year of budget cuts, which she was not eager to do. Music and theater classes would naturally have to do more with less. Her office mud pit, however, was not going anywhere.
