Cassandra does not want to go home from school. She stays after the nice
teacher leaves. She stays while the janitor with a tattoo mops the
floors. She stays after the slightly scary principal turns off all the
lights and goes home. She plays with the clay and reads until after
dark, when her mom and dad realize she is missing and come in a panic to
take her home.
The next day, Cassandra gets up, eats breakfast, gets on her bike and
heads off to school -- but it is Saturday and all the doors and
windows are locked. So on her way back home she stops by the store and
places an order.
The next day she looks out the window to find her purchase has been
delivered -- there is a brand-new red-brick school with a nice teacher,
a slightly scary principal, and a janitor with tattoos in her very own
backyard, so she can have school any time she likes!
This story was written for Cassandra, a girl from Pickering, Ontario who
said that the most interesting thing about her was that she LOVED
school!
