a little squirrel with huge Buck
Teeth That are uneven, and
Skippy who is very hyper also

sidekick.

 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 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.
