Star Buttons

It was early one evening. Principal Penn and the teachers were arriving at Metro City Grand Hotel. A mysterious man named Mr. Sweeps had invited them to a special meeting. " Maybe he's going to donate money to the school, " thought Principal Penn. “ Welcome, ” said Mr. Sweeps.

“ Please take a button. “ Principal Penn pinned a star button onto her iacket. Then she sat down. ” Now, ” said Mr. Sweeps. “ Let me tell you why I invited you here . . . ” It was a beautiful fall morning. Roxy and her friends were walking to school. ” I hope the weather stays like this, ” said Jack.

“ Our class has a feld trip to thezoo next week. “ “ I can't wait to see the snakes, “ said Terrell. “ I'm worried we won't be able to go to the zoo, ” said Mara. My mom told me our school needs money. The field trip to the zoo might be canceled. “

” That would be awful! ” said Jack. “ We should do something to help. ” “ What can we do?” asked Mara. “ We don't have any money. “ “ Maybe Rocket Girl can help, “ said Terrell. “ I don't think so, “ said Roxy. “ Rocket Girl doesn't have money. “

“ Rocket Girl can do anything, ” said Terrell. “ She's the greatest superhero ever! “ Roxy shrugged. Soon Roxy and her friends reached school. Roxy looked at the parking lot. " Where are all the teachers’ cars?" she wondered.
