DEAR STUDENTS,

My house is definitely haunted, but no one in my family believes me. What should I do?

Sincerely, Buster Ghosts

DEAR BUSTER GHOSTS,

First, you should suck the ghost into a vacuum. Then, you should put it in a place where it can’t move because it can’t be trapped in the vacuum. Ghosts can go through things, so it would leave the vacuum every time. Instead, you can use a trap of lasers that would sting the ghost if it tries to escape. Next, you can use the Poltergust G-00 from Luigi’s Mansion 3 to make little tanks or containers to store the ghosts. You can put some of the lasers in some of the big jars so the ghosts can’t leave the jars. The jars are at least a foot wide and a foot and five inches high. You can make a little hole on the top of the jar so the ghost can get air, and then put food coloring in so you can see the ghost. You can put lasers around the holes so that the ghost can’t escape through the holes. You could also put tape over the holes. Last, you should show your family, but first see if you can see the ghost in the jar before showing them.

Sincerely, Kipp, Ajay, Ava, Victoria, and Lily

DEAR STUDENTS,

My birthday is coming up, but because of COVID, I can’t have the party I was dreaming of. How can I still celebrate my birthday? Sincerely, Fiesta Waitsforever

DEAR FIESTA WAITSFOREVER,

First, you can go to your cousin’s house and have a cake. Your grandma and grandpa can also come over. You can also celebrate with your parents and your family by eating cake and having fun. Then, you can play games with each other. You can play a board game, play Twister, Monopoly, Sorry!, or even a madeup game! Next, you can have breakfast and ice cream cake–chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, or cake with one side frosted vanilla and one side frosted chocolate–and sing happy birthday. You can also eat your favorite dinner like fish with rice and cauliflower, tacos, or pork chops with cucumbers. You can also have popcorn while watching a movie. Last, you can open some presents from your family and friends and watch some funny videos that make you laugh. Then, you can go to bed.

Sincerely, Betel, Hudson, Amelia, Emery, and Saida

DEAR STUDENTS,

Everything I touch turns instantly into cheese. At first it was great, but now I miss my books and games, and also, I’m getting sick of the smell of cheddar. What do I do?

Sincerely, Cheezed Out

DEAR CHEEZED OUT,

First, you should stop making cheese so addicting! After you are no longer addicted, try to find ways to get the cheese off of you. Then, you can look into mythology about cheese so you can get rid of the cheese-touch. You can look into the story about King Midas for advice. Next, if you don’t like the smell, wearing a mask can help, or you can use Pine Tree air freshener and carry around vanilla scented perfume with you. Try to get rid of as much cheese in your house as possible. Last, wear latex gloves all the time to avoid turning everything into cheese. Try to find some protection for your whole body, something similar to a hazmat suit or one of those swimsuits that covers your whole body. Try not to touch the ground–you can turn other things into cheese if you do! You can also try washing your hands to get rid of the cheese touch. If you can’t get rid of the cheese, you can turn the cheese into sculptures of humans for fun!

Sincerely, Andrei, Amelia, Bayanne, and Jeremiah
