Stanley is Back! Please Comment

As I was leaving the building on Friday, I saw Stanley the groundhog on the west end of the south building. Three years ago, Stanley and his family dug a network of tunnels and were even spotted running in the hallways of Cherry Hill. Mr. Alvarado called the main office and they sent exterminators to trap the animals and take them away. I love animals. Groundhogs are really quite cute and not harmful to humans. In fact, I believe Stanley would make a cute school mascot. I believe I am the only person who knows that Stanley the groundhog has returned. What should I do? Should I let Mr. Alvarado and Mrs. Hailey discover Stanley? Should I let Stanley breed and tunnel into Cherry Hill, or should I tell Mr. Alvarado and Mrs. Hailey so an exterminator can come and get Stanley before he builds a network of tunnels? Tell me what I should do and why I need to take this action.

No, I don't think that you should tell Mr. Alvarado and Mrs. Hailey because groundhogs are very cute and innocent creatures. They are not harmful to anyone or anything. I don't think that you should tell because as long as Stanley isn't building tunnels around our school, I think its okay. I'm pretty sure that Stanley doesn't want to be taken away, this area was probably his ancestors territory before either of these schools were built. I think it that we should keep our mascot the lions because I really don't like the ideea of us being groundhogs.

I think that you should tell mrs. hailey or mr. alvarado about stanley so maybe they can find them a better home. You can find a safe place for them if you like since you like animals.

I really love animals also. Especially cute ones like guinea pigs, rabbits, and ground hogs. I think that you should take your chances and leave Stanley alone. Right now he is not harming anyone. You should let him be free. Hopefully he doesn't come into the schools and scare anyone so the exterminators won't get him. As of right now i don't see a problem with him and i hope he stays safe.

I think you should tell Mrs Hailey amd Mr Alvarado because Stanley can cause problems at cherry hill if he decides to come out during school. So he may not seem dangerous, but he can start problems with the students.

The Stanley Update:

Stanley was running amuck at Cherry Hill! I had to tell Mr. Alvarado and Mrs. Hailey about Stanley. I also had to show the head custodian where I saw Stanley. Stanley has a hole under the west porch of the south building. He also has tunnels in different places all around the south building. This includes under the sidewalk by room 2. One tunnel has cracked the sidewalk by the west porch. It seems that Stanley has already caused some damage. If you are reading this post and did not respond, what do you believe will be Stanley's fate?

I don't think that you should tell Mr. Alvarado and Mrs. Hailey about Stanley. If he isn't bothering anyone or anything then we shouldn't bother him. I think you should report him only if the problem gets serious like if he starts walking the halls again. Other than that, he is fine right where he is.

I think that you should let Mr. Alvarado know about it before it gets to be too bad. And if stanley does find his way back this time then he might build a tunnel under our two portables and that could be very harmful but at the same time funny to see all of the scared AOI kids running. So yes you should tell Alvarado or Mrs. Hailey.

I think you should let Mr. Alvardo, and Mrs. Hailey know. I believe this because its realy nasty to me to see rodents running about outside. Its also harmful to the students and dtaff, because "Stanley" could have several different types of diseases. This is my opinion on what should be done with Stanley.

I think Stanley's fate is going to be he ends up hurt or maybe even dead. I dont hope that Stanley gets hurt, but there is a time and a place for everything. I am also afraid of many animals so I think if I were to have a run in with Stanley I would be pretty upset. I would be upset because groundhogs don't belong in the school hallways.

No, I don't think that you should tell Mr. Alavarado and Mrs. Hailey to call the exterminators on the groundhog. Stanley is harmless to everyone and everything in his surroundings. Having him exterminated isn't fair to this innocent creaure.

I believe you should tell Mr. Alvarado and Ms. Hailey. Maybe they can find a good home for stanley and his family. But extermination is a bit much especially since stanley did not harm anybody. I dont believe death should be the penalty of a harmless animal.

Donald said...

No I believe that if stanley isnt bothering anyone I say leave him alone. I dont like the fact that someone wants to take stanley out of his envoirment thinking that it is better.
