I survived spirit week! #hallelujah

This is my first year doing student government and it feels like being a 1st year teacher all over again. :/

The biggest week of the school year is spirit week. It involves the homecoming dance, the homecoming game, the pep rally, various activities at lunchtime, and dressing up each day according to a theme. Bottom line: it's a ton of work and planning!

The fact that I survived spirit week is a complete miracle. And overall it went pretty well. Next year I would do things differently but we can say that about almost anything that you ever plan. I am so proud of my student government kids and it such a joy to work with them!

Here's some pictures to document the experience this week:


The faculty (and a student) after playing teacher vs. student dodgeball

Wacky Tacky Day with Ms. Riesner. I loved wearing the wig!

Social Studies goes Goth. I went punk rocker.

Most of the SGA before the pep rally with our snazzy SGA t-shirts

This is my school---very picturesque!

My student and I soon after he scored a touchdown and before Homecoming Court.
