A Message from Jinx the Cat:



        Look, Sixth grade boys and girls...I know how you feel. None of us want to come out. This summer has been warm and cozy like a blanket. All I can say is this: I have these claws for a reason. If anyone tries to get me out of here and into a classroom, I will rip them to shreds. Don't let my cuteness fool you. I am a killer.
        By the way, don't forget to do the assignment above. While I'm hiding under this blankie, you can earn some extra credit. Purrrrrrrfect!
