Mr. Scullys Birthday
Mr. Scully, written in history as the best history to exist thus far in the United States. He likes to keep weird bandaids of Abraham Lincoln in his desk drawer, what an Icon! He likes to play with toy boats that he thinks are really cool, if only he knew... just kidding! He is actually a very caring teacher and many appreciate his efforts. I hope I get extra brownie points for this. (also you didn't put a date for the year you were born so I guessed)
