Die Rappen formen sich!

The Wolfpack and its glory has given way to a new breed: die Rappen. Die Rappen are the new spelling team for this year, Rappen Pl in English means black horses. The spellers have already been winnying and trotting about and have amazingly been demanding to spell words before and after school. Many of the Rappen are hoping to get their names retired if they also become 4x champions like the former Wolfpack Alpha Steffi. I have my work cut out for me, we have some really good spellers, but I need to recruit and inspire some of the kids in my IV class that used to spell when they were younger and our opponents are looking to avenge their losses, especially after the article in paper!
