Something tragic happened to Charlie Thursday.  He came to me after school, admitting that he was not feeling very well.  At first I thought he was about to pull another prank, but then I saw something very sad.  Charlie began to whimper and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was serious.  He told me that several students had touched him while he was in the wheelchair.  You may not know, but if you touch an elf, they can lose their magic powers.

Charlie began to feel worse and I knew he was going downhill fast.  Mr. Barry came in just at the right moment and administered CPR to Charlie.  Even though he has been a thorn in my side since he arrived, I couldn’t let the little guy suffer.  Thank goodness Mr. Barry got him stable.  Charlie has asked for some time today to rest and see if his magic powers can come back.  I will grant him this today.  He has promised that he will be a good elf next week.  We shall see.

Keeping an eye on Charlie,

Mrs. Rock

P.S. – Charlie wanted me to tell all of you “thanks” for the well wishes.

 I apologize for not being timely on Charlie’s update from yesterday.  Things got a little hectic.

I’m sure you all saw that Charlie was an impostor, sitting proudly in the wheelchair as you walked in yesterday morning, pretending to be a nurse.  Let me assure you that Charlie is not a nurse and I was terrified that he had locked the real Nurse Jones in the closet! Luckily, he did not succeed in that feat!

I tried my best to caution you as you came in yesterday that if you were sick or injured it would be best not to visit Nurse Charlie.  If you did not heed my caution, I cannot be liable for the care Charlie might have given if you were his patient.

Hoping all is well with everyone today,

Mrs. Rock

 How dare Charlie rename our school today!  Does he not realize that we are THE White Oak Roughnecks and we ARE White Oak Intermediate!  I promise I will take our name back by in the morning.

Roughneck Pride,

Mrs. Rock

 I’m not quite sure what to think today.  I can’t really be too mad at the little guy.  After all, he did try to brighten our hallway with cheer by beautifully decorating with his infamous tinsel.  For that, I have to give him a little credit.

On the other hand, he did position himself in a particular location that proves to be quite difficult for me to capture him.  He knows I’m afraid of heights! As you can see in the picture, the ladder isn’t quite tall enough for me to reach him.

Hmm….Has Charlie turned over a new leaf?  Has the shipping box I have labeled to Santa ‘Back To The North Pole’ scared him into acting right? I don’t know boys and girls. I just don’t know.  I’m anxious to see whattomorrow brings.  We can only hope for a Christmas miracle.

Keep your fingers crossed,

Mrs. Rock
