April is the famous Chinchilla around South. April has been in Kathy Scheff’s classroom for seventeen years. She received April a year after her first Chinchilla Squeakers. Students in Scheff’s class love to take April out and play with her and hold her.

“She is best described as cute, cuddly, chill once you get her out of her cage,” said Mrs. Scheff. Mrs. Scheff also said that there are too many memories to recall a favorite.

Louie, the second Bearded Dragon is in science teacher Todd Yeager’s classroom. Yeager said “Louie’s job is to guard the classroom tests.”  Louie was given to Yeager years ago by a student whose parents said he was not taking proper care of him. All the kids in Yeager’s class enjoy holding and rubbing Louie. However “sometimes, he can be a bit of a distraction,” says Yeager. Louie never leaves South High during the school year and, he only needs to eat about once a week. Mr. Yeager leaves him at South for spring break and just feeds him before he leaves and when he gets back.
