The Scoop from the Snake-pit!

As we're winding down for the first semester and gearing up for the holidays, here's a friendly reminder on the policies for showing ANY MOVIE in the classroom. We DO have a license via Swank Movie Licensing. Please read the graphic and visit the website for specific details. The last thing we want is a charge from the sleeper copyright agents trying to snitch to get a trip to Disneyworld. ;)

Rick Scroogeman HATES Christmas. He can't stand the carols and the pageants. He can't stand the lights and the mistletoe. But what he hates the most is having to watch the old movie version of A Christmas Carol every year at school. Since his name is Scroogeman, all of his classmates start calling him Scrooge. And he hates being called Scrooge. But everything starts to change when three ghosts visit him. At first he thinks it's a dream. But then he realizes that it might be a nightmare--a nightmare that could become real. Listen to the 1st chapter! Or come check it out from the Snake-pit...if you're brave enough!
