Oreo is missing!! Who took her? where are they hiding her?
Oreo is missing!! Who took her? where are they hiding her?
Oreo’s cage is empty and she hasn’t been seen in days! Ms. Loya is very worried about her so she asked Officer Ace to check the security camera footage to see if he could figure out what happened to her. Unfortunately, the security cameras near Oreo’s cage stopped working at some point on the day Oreo disappeared! The security camera footage showed her safe in her cage in the morning, and then the footage stopped. By the time the glitch was discovered and the security cameras were fixed, she was already gone! The following people were seen near Oreo’s cage the day she disappeared before the cameras stopped working: Mr. Ameen, Mrs. Weaver, Mrs. Gwizdala, Mrs. Kendrick, Mrs. Loftus, Ms. Read, and Mr. Shirley. Could one of them have taken her? Ivy and the library staff are on the case, but they need your help to find and solve the clues to find Oreo!

The possible locations
The possible locations
The library
The library
The library is a perfect hiding place. There are lots of shelves and books and places to hide. The librarians once found a fossilized sandwich hidden behind some books, so you never know what you'll find in the library.
The gym area
The gym area
It might not seem like there are many places to hide in the gym, but this area includes offices and locker rooms, so there are many possibilities in this area of the school for someone to hide a bunny. Maybe the smell of stinky gym clothes might hide the smell of a bunny from a puppy detective and her library detective assistants making it a perfect place to hide Oreo.
House C office
House C office
The House C office is near two of our suspects and has lots of ideal hiding locations for a bunny, including two storage closets, as well as easy access to food and water if someone needed to keep a bunny fed until they went out of the building.
The cafeteria
The cafeteria
The cafeteria, including the kitchen in the back, has the easiest access to food and water of any of the suspected hiding locations, but there are many people in and out of the cafeteria from morning through lunch time. Would anyone notice a hidden bunny in here?
The detectives
The detectives
Ivy
Ivy
Ivy is a fluffy puppy and a professional "lost pet" scent-detecting dog. She's the head investigator of this case. She lives with Mr. Ameen, but she's very professional and would never let that get in the way of solving the case.
Mrs. Hood
Mrs. Hood
Mrs. Hood is one of Farmwell's librarians. She read more than 30 mystery novels in the last year which makes her practically a professional detective and the perfect choice for one of Ivy's assistant detectives.
Ms. Haft
Ms. Haft
Ms. Haft is also one of Farmwell's librarians. She is an expert player of the game Clue, which is almost, but not quite, the same thing as a professional detective. This makes her another excellent choice to assist Ivy in this investigation.
Mrs. Tran
Mrs. Tran
Mrs. Tran is Farmwell's amazing library assistant. She's an Agatha Christie fan and loves logic puzzles which has clearly prepared her for detective work and to assist Ivy in cracking this case.
...and you! We can't find Oreo without your help!

Many thanks to the librarians at John Champe High School, Sarah Anderson and Catie Cote, for their awesome reading activity ideas. Their Clue activity from last year was the inspiration for our "Where is Oreo? activity.
