Spirit Week Activities

Day 3 of Spirit Week. Monday was pyjama day, yesterday was wacky hair day and today was twin day (good theme, but implementing it still has kinks to iron out). Whenever we can get students out of their regular school unifrm, we always get good participation, sometimes not in the spirit of the event, but then nothing is perfect.

Yes, that is a guy wearing pink pyjamas (I always said that it takes a real man to pull off pink, unless your complexion forbids it under the pain of death).

We even had some surprise lunchtime activities yesterday and today: Tape-the-Teacher (students pay 25 cents to get a strip of tape and attempt to tape a teacher to the wall... we opted for a chair since our wall was not cooperative) and pie throwing (teachers as targets) The pie throwing was definitely the best activity! We had a line up of students more than willing to throw a whipped cream pie to a teacher. I was a participant, mostly because I thoroughly enjoy whipped cream (*cough-cough*) and I am such a sucker for the attention. Apparently, there is a picture floating around of me getting a plate full of whipped cream, so once I get my hands on it, it will surely be posted here.

I wish I could do more of these activities during the year. It's such a great way to get students and teachers together. If only more teachers were willing to subject themselves to this kind of "abuse" (lack of a better word), I'm sure student-teacher relations would be much better than they are right now.
