The first semester of the 2011-2012 school year ended well. Our school began a tradition a few years ago to have "end of semester ceremonies." What this means is, for the last 45 minutes of school on the day first semester ends, and on the very last day of school, everyone in the school comes to the gym for a fun assembly. Usually students are recognized who showed improvement in class (teachers award medals), and student athletes stand to be recognized, and there are some skits, games and/or singing by students and staff.
This years' organizer asked a group of teachers to dress up like Pillow People (you can google them on YouTube), and lead the kids in a couple of songs, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree and Jingle Bell Rock. It was quite fun, and the students were guessing who was under the pillows. I'm including a picture of myself and one of the other counselors as we said good-bye to students on the way out to the buses that afternoon. It was quite fun saying hi to the kids and have them come up to us and say, "Is that you Mrs. Popenfoose?" or "Who are you?". Mrs. Jones had fun chasing the sixth graders and tried to scare a few of them.
Happy holidays and Merry Christmas everyone!
