Staff have been playing practical jokes on Mr. Kain since the mouse incident last week.

Mice have invaded Vanguard.

Last week, mice decided to make a nice, little home inside a Girl Scout cookie box in Mr. Kain's desk drawer. He said he opened the box one day and three (alive) baby mice fell out. According to Mr. Kain, Mr. O’Brien fed the mice to his snakes located in the Media Room. "It's not fair to a mouse to be thrown in a tank. It's unethical and unnatural. At least in nature they have a chance," said an infuriated Ms. DeMeo.

“There has been more evidence of mice since then,” says Mr. Kain.

Teachers and some students would like to keep this place clean, and mice free. Lunch ends at noon so by that time all food, wrappers, and drinks should be picked up and tossed in the garbage.

“Exterminators told us that under my desk is a prime time spot for mice to make a nest, so I cleaned it,” said Ms. O’Neill. She had camping equipment and clothing under the desk. It's been there for years in case students need stuff for trips or outfit changes for service learning.

Every day, there seems to be more and more garbage around the school. Some teachers and students are angered by these rude acts. Ms. Felfle stated, “What I would like to do is take the garbage students leave behind and put it in their houses. Let’s see how they feel!”

Witnesses report that Chris Przybylo, Evan Jakubowicz, Nick Bowden, Essence Herman, Nicole Giannini and Stephani Ortiz are chronic offenders. They all refused to make a comment for the blog at this time.

“I’ve been called a mother before but I’m nobody’s mom. Clean up your own mess!” Words of wisdom from Pasta.

Let's keep our school clean or we'll lose the privilege to eat food around here.
