Ms. Chai is back!

by S.V., 7th grade

Where has Ms. Chai has been all these horrible weeks?

We heard the rumors wrong all along. Some students said that the parents had gotten Ms. Chai fired and she was no longer coming back. Others said that she had gotten tired of our school because no one was behaving bad anymore around her and she needed new students to punish. Another rumor was that she is a very nice, family-oriented woman.

The facts, according to Mr. Seigel, are that Ms. Chai has been at Rita, an Aspire elementary school here in HP, as acting principal. The real principal at Rita was having her first baby so Ms. Chai decided to go help out.

Mr. Seigel was telling lies! Ms. Garcia, our principal, has told me the real true story.

It turns out that the school ran out of money and could not pay Ms. Chai any longer. Mr. Seigel and Mr. Zapata, because they were jealous that Ms. Chai was being paid more than they were, decided to steal her money and use it on the security system.

So in the end Ms. Chai came back to CCPA because she decided that this is her home. Somehow the school found $16,000 to cover Ms. Chai’s return. All students are overjoyed that Ms. Chai is finally back!
