New term starts at Sunnydale High

New term starts at Sunnydale High

Miss Gonzales was back in her red teaching dress today as Professor Gloves cut the ribbon at Sunnydale High to mark the start of a new school year.

Mitzi Bumpkin was the first to arrive, at 7 o'clock in the morning, 'keen to make a good impression.'

Jimothy Bandersnatch, 12, proudly unveiled his new metallic pencil case, stuffed with felt tips with all the lids still on. Unconfirmed reports state that the pencil case was confiscated by 2.30pm after repeatedly being knocked onto the hard floor, causing several loud crashes and a difficult Tippex spill.

Perhaps the most significant addition to the school, built in the architecturally questionable year of 1976, was new teaching assistant Adriana Atwood, brother of postman Ryan Atwood.

The position is a career change for the Bratz doll who previously found success as a baker girl, delivering bread across Toyland. She lost that job after the Sylvanian bakery was shut down and relocated to the loft. Unwilling to move, Adriana faded into the shadow of her athletic blonde haired and blue eyed postman brother. Her departure from Toyland storylines was regularly discussed.

Introducing Miss Atwood, as she will be known, at the start of term lunchtime feast (£4.50, cheques payable in advance to Smallvania City Council), headmaster Professor Gloves said she would provide an 'excellent teaching role model to the small toy pupils at Sunnydale.'

Elsewhere in the thriving Toyland kingdom, charismatic quacker Ducky Mallard enrolled for another year at the specialist Duckdale Academy free school. And, after scrubbing the graffiti from the blackboard and sharing the school textbooks one-between-three, the Land of Old Toys Comprehensive began its new term too.
