Grad Car Wash

I'm pooped but I had a blast! Yeah, I was playing the role of the grumpy teacher, often telling my students to stop dousing each other with soapy water (oh boy, thankfully, none of the girls were wearing white tshirts - worse: they had bikini tops *sigh*), but I think we had a lot of fun and made over 400$ for our Graduation activities. Here are some pics...Chris, aka I-am-wearing-the-loudest-pants-in -the-bunch, didn't sign up to help for the car wash but ended up joining in on the fun early in the day and stayed the entire day. I had to fire him due to his shoddy squeegeeing, which is a shame because he was quite find of his title of squeegee boy.As you can see, the sun finally came out from behind the clouds (around 11am). I was pretty nervous because when I got up this morning, at the too-too early hour of 7am, it looked like it was going to rain. I'm glad I brought my sunblock because some of the kids had shoulders a pretty shade of beet red by the end of the day.

I'm happy I have a group picture that I can post without getting reprimanded too much... you see, most of the girls who were wearing bikini tops are not in the picture. So instead you get The Dave topless, in his pale splendor. Even Hollywood Mike (3rd guy from the left) dubbed The Dave "the whitest white guy he knew". And please give the boy a sandwich or a burger, get some meat on his bones!

I hope that the students enjoyed the day as much as I did. I especially enjoyed the guys mocking Jessica Simpson, doing their funniest sexy car wash dancing. I almost peed myself! Stick to your day jobs guys, go-go dancers you are not!

I big thanks to Mr Ali Abassi, the owner of the Petro-Canada we used for this event and to the parents and teachers who came to support the grads. Two radio stations must be thanked as well, CHOM and Mix 96 who announced our event on the air.
