The Wolf Howl
Week of 4/1/16
STAAR Wars - The Force Was With Us
New leaders emerged from the battles: Force-sensitive Scavengers Megan and Raquel from Jakku, who were victorious is their scavenging for the hospitality center; Brendon, who was the finest co-pilot in all the systems; and freedom-fighter Lisa Grimes, who was the best bubbler in the galaxy.
In their quest to destroy TEA's newest superweapon, the deathSTAAR (created by the new foe, Education Testing Services) the Teacher Troopers vigilantly walked, timed, paced, monitored, encouraged, cajoled, and even itched. R2-D2 Rumbelow and C-3PO Abeyta fought with especial determination against the insidiously evil on-line testing. Aiding in our heroes' quest for victory were valiant hall runners, bathroom monitors, pod monitors, and front door guards.
At the end of the first two days of battle, our brave troops aided the Wolves, helped the Rebel Alliance, and restored freedom and justice to our Wolf Galaxy.
Until the Next STAAR Wars: May the Force Be With You!
