Monday was our Spirit Week Assembly. At the end of the assembly the Cheerleaders and SBOs did a fashion show of what kids ought to wear for each day. The Cheerleaders were lovely in their pajamas.
Tuesday is Super Hero Day! Did Ms. White participate?? Of course she did! I was a conservative Wonder Woman (red cape, fancy earrings, and I used my princess crown because that's the closest to her hat that I could come up with. Actually, any excuse I can find to wear my princess crown I will take!)
Wednesday = Sports Day! Will Ms. White participate?? Of course! I'm still debating on what to wear. Should I go with all my University of Utah stuff I can find or my Valley Junior High Wrestling sweatshirt?
Thursday will be Culture Day. Last year I went all decked out as a Hawaiian girl. This year I'm going with my own culture, Canadian. :) I'm wearing a Canada sweatshirt (just so everyone knows what I'm representing), cowboy boots, and I'm going to string a cowboy hat around my neck. AWESOME!
Friday will be crazy day. This one is stumping me a little. I think I may go all out and do the craziest thing I can think of.... wear my BYU Nauvoo sweatshirt. AAAHHHH!! I have NEVER worn that out in public! That's pretty crazy for me, but will anyone get it?
To continue with the Spirit Week activities today was the ice cream drop. Because I made the foolish mistake of going to the district office for an hour this morning Mr. Babcock had the opportunity to volunteer me to participate in this event. The cheerleaders came through the office looking for me to ask me to help and Mr. Babcock said, "Of course she will help. She would love to." See if I ever leave him alone in the office again!
I was not even close to prepared because I purposely did NOT volunteer for this activity. Did I wear nice clothes? Yes. Did I wear my hair down? Yes. Did I have anything to pull my hair up with? Only a headband! I was just glad they gave us ponchos. So, what we do is lay on the ground with an ice cream cone in our mouths while a student climbs a step stool and tries to dump a scoop of ice cream into the cone. Really that doesn't happen, they just try and make us messy. It's kind of scary to see a hunk of brown stuff falling toward your face. I was so jumpy that the first time it was my turn I bit the end of my cone off!
Mr. Babcock, it's your turn!
I learned quickly, just wrap the hood of the poncho all the way around your face, leaving only the ice cream cone exposed. First lunch I avoided any huge messes. Although one of my students grabbed a bunch of ice cream at the end and smeared it all over my chin, don't worry I'll hunt him down! Second lunch I wasn't so lucky. The Cheerleaders and SBOs were encouraging everyone to choose me. I had more ice cream dropped on me in that lunch than any of the actual volunteer teachers. It pays to be so popular. :) I had ice cream all down my arms, chin, and neck. But, I did get to have an ice cream cone when it was all over. I think I earned it.
During first lunch one student, the only one of the day, got his ice cream in Ms. Parkes' cone.
He got a candy bar as his reward.
This gives an illustration of how this fun-filled activity works. Look at the pure joy on this kid's face, the little snot!
