Read All About It!

Prom Queen Crowned
She was thrilled, of course, and when she accepted her crown, she thanked the whole student body for voting
for her, and for making her greatest dream come true. After she was crowned, she joined the Prom King,
Joshua Mitchell, for the first dance of the evening. Before their dance was over they were joined by everyone
else at the dance; nobody could wait to get started having a good time!
Chess Coach Walter Smith says that the
reason his team has done so well is because of
the many hours they have put in studying
famous chess matches throughout history.
Up until last week’s championship, our very
own Charleston Elementary School Chess
Team spent every afternoon after school
learning strategies and practicing them on
each other. Longtime member George Kalapo
says that even though they keep a busy
schedule, that he loves to play, and that when
someone on the team is able to pull off a
famous victory like this, that it’s all worth it.
Chess Team Remains Undefeated!
“I have been contemplating retirement for
some time now,” Mrs. Krump told this
reporter. “I put it off as long as I could,
because I enjoy teaching so much. But it just
seems like the time has come.”
Mrs. Krump, who has been teaching here at
Charleston Elementary School for 32 years,
will be spending the upcoming school year
traveling across the country with her husband,
former Charleston science teacher Marcus
Krump. The two met right here at the school
when they were both in the second grade.
So Long, Mrs. Krump!
