OK. Interesting, well the last few letters guessed aren't going to help for that word in particular, but maybe it might jog something anyway :)

I think I have almost got it, and the mystery word.:lol:

W?

I know it now, but I won't be back on the Board until late tonight (if at all), so if someone else knows it, great, if not I will guess when I'm back.

L?

Is it:

Principal Green! Thank God you are here. In preparing for our botany assignment it appears that Josephine and I, we wandered significantly farther away from the school then we had anticipated. Frankly, I was beginning to worry that we weren't going to make it home by nightfall.

That is correct :yay: . You beat me to it.

There is a grammatical error, but it was already there. After the word "school" it should be "than" instead of "then"

Your turn.

Yeah I spotted the mistake but just went with it.
