Drowned Rat!



Today's lunchtime activity was the Sponge Throw. It went a lot like the ice cream drop, only kids got to throw sponges full of water at us (weather report: Today's high maybe 65 degrees). Because Mr. Babcock so generously volunteered me to help, I also got put on the list to participate in the Sponge Throw. I remembered last year's event (LOTS of water) so I brought clothes to change into just for this festivity. That turned out to be a good thing...
Mr. Gibbons before (this is actually even before I got my hands on a sponge and twisted it over his head)....

Mr. Gibbons after!

Cute Ms. White, today was Culture Day and I was a Canadian Cowgirl (who was smart enough to take extra clothes to school) before...
After Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Babcock finished emptying the buckets of water over my head. We kind of encouraged the chaos that followed amongst the students! It's so fun to see the students loving an activity so much!
For those of you who know me well enough you know that I am not completely innocent in all of this, but I DID get the worst of it. I walked in and hugged all the secretaries and then after I returned from second lunch looking even worse I got the "Go change your clothes or you're going to get pneumonia" lecture. I LOVED this day!

How fun! I wish our school did things like that...apparently, our admin's a bit more Scroogish.

This gives me some ideas for a food drive! Maybe you could come and be our drowned rat! I love that you participate and are so involved in everything.
