And to finish this off, Happy Halloween! :D By Megan McGhee & Lily Jewell The Wrong Parents When I was little, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and go into my parents room and sleep next to my mom. One night when I was about 5 or 6 years old, I had this really vivid dream where I woke up scared and went into my mom's room to sleep with her. When I went in, however, there was a set of parents on the bed and a set of identical parents on the floor. I instinctively knew in my dream that I had to wake the right parents because the wrong parents were evil. So I chose the parents on the floor. I distinctly remember thinking that the evil imposter parents would try to trick me. So I chose the parents on the floor. When I went over to the parents on the floor, they both opened their eyes. Bright glowing red light were where their eyeballs should have been. That was when I actually woke up. Being a scared little kid, of course I went right into my parents room to sleep next to my mom. There was a set of parents on the bed, and a set of parents on the floor. I literally peed myself. The "second set" of parents was actually a pile of unfolded laundry. But I will never forget the fear that struck my little 6 year old heart at that very minute. By Lily Jewell School Enrichments Here at Sudlow we get to pick a few things we would like to do for Enrichments. Here are some of my favorites. The Fantasy Football enrichment is really fun. You pick players from the NFL teams and build your own fantasy team. You play your friends team and see which team gets the highest score. Next on my list of dream enrichments is cooking. In cooking, you learn how to cook really good food like hand made cookies and many more. Next on my lineup is fitness because you do a ton of fun games like dodgeball, tag, and sports like basketball and many others.
