"I'd rather go hungry for four weeks straight than get a borrow slip." Imagine forgetting your lunch ticket in seventh grade and having to admit defeat to the lunch lady just to get a hot lunch. We look back at the absolute glory of the Scholastic Book Fair and the sheer panic of having to use the manual pencil sharpener in the middle of a quiet classroom. Plus we break down the ultimate holiday Hunty bracket to see if pastel Easter Hunty can somehow knock off Valentine's Hunty.
