This week, Smoke Signals paid a visit to some of the adorable class pets here at ECHS to learn a little about everyone’s favorite (non-human) classmates.
Also hanging around is a tarantula by the name of “either Charlotte,” like Charlotte’s Web, “or Sophie,” for the student who gifted her to Mrs. Ahmann. Charlotte/Sophie was chilling in her house, likely waiting for her next serving of cockroaches to finally come.
In Mrs. Ahmann’s classroom, home to Environmental Science by day and Forensic Investigation by other parts of the day, one gets the pleasure of meeting Bun the Bunny! Bun was hiding beneath Mrs. Ahmann’s desk, but was still kind enough to pose for a picture. “Bun eats all the hey she wants,” explained Mrs. Ahmann, “kibble, and romaine lettuce twice a day.”

Across campus, in the 9th Grade Buidling, there is another arachnid chilling out. Racki the Tarantula lives in Mr. Bolling’s Biology classroom. Racki wasn’t keen on posing for the camera, and, lacking journalistic courage, the author of this article wasn’t keen on Mr. Bolling’s offer to hold her.
Mr. Bolling understood, though, he himself not being the biggest fan of spiders, instead receiving Racki as a gift, so now she lives in the back of his classroom.
In “Club 161” there also live a several other organisms of Kingdom Animalia among the bright and diverse plant life of the classroom. If you look closely into the dense watery habitats, you could see shrimp as well as tiny guppies peeking out occasionally.
