This Year in 5B: September 2013

There was a candy theft in each one of the fifth grade classrooms today. Here is the list of suspects:

Mrs. Wagner – She cannot live without chocolate. Each day she has intense cravings for its sensational sweetness. She has been overheard saying, “She’s never tasted a piece of chocolate she did not like.”

Mrs. Hughes – She knows how much Mrs. Wagner loves chocolate. It is not good for her in such devastating quantities. She might have gotten rid of the chocolate to help with Mrs. Wagner’s worst addiction.

Mrs. Robinson – She thrives on owning businesses. She just opened up her own store serving the finest treats for kids of all ages. This candy could bring many kids into her store…making her the most popular store owner in town.

Mr. Rehagen – He loves going to fifth grade camp, but it costs ten times more for adults than students. He might want to sell candy to help pay for the outrageous adult camp price. He thinks camp is the best experience he has ever had.

Mrs. Spitzmiller- She loves to bring candy home to her boys. Maybe she thought it would be easier to take the candy from school instead of going to the store and standing in long lines. The Spitzmillers always have an overflowing candy dish on their kitchen table.

Mrs. Bohn – She loves all kinds of sweets. She was once seen at Target with 25 pounds of candy in her cart. If you visit her over the holidays, her house is filled to the brim with sweet treats for her grandchildren.

Mrs. Noble – She has a secret stash of candy in her desk. She always keeps it full for Mrs. Wagner’s cravings at all times of the day. Mrs. Noble enjoys chocolate too. She has been overheard saying “After all, chocolate is the world’s most popular flavor.”

Mr. Vargo – His son, Connor, just started going to a school that charges students an expensive tuition to attend. He needs all the money he can get his hands on to pay for the skyrocketing tuition increase for the 2011-2012 school year.

The authorities have found significant amounts of candy in each one of the suspects’ cars and they could easily obtain a key to enter the classrooms at Rose Acres.
