Rooroo: A Non-Human Addition to the Faculty

Becoming accustomed to the intricacies of Albany High is difficult for any new staff member. But the process takes a turn from challenging to nearly impossible when you subsist solely on carrots and minute droplets of waters. Although Rooroo is the only Oryctolagus cuniculus lost in a sea of humans, he is up to this daunting task.

As a rescue rabbit, Rooroo overcame many hardships to arrive at room 304. Science teacher Darren McNally adopted Rooroo – named for his kangaroo-like bounds – because of his laid-back personality, perfect for the classroom. In line with first impressions, Rooroo doesn’t bite and enjoys being held by the gaggle of excited students running rampant amongst the lab tables.

However, Rooroo isn’t always calm; he is “prone to rock star freak outs during which he starts tossing stuff around.” During his weekend free time, Rooroo resides in McNally’s house where he has become the alpha (at least amongst the animal crew).

According to McNally, Rooroo is “not afraid of the cats, but they are afraid of him.”

Outside of the house, Rooroo loves long walks on the beach. If a beach is not within proximity, walks with a teaching assistant on the luscious grass of Albany High suffice. If you would like to welcome Rooroo to Albany, feel free to stop by room 304 during his office hours (Monday – Friday: 7:40 – 2:15).
