Me, I played “Santa the Barbarian”, reading the introduction to a song played by our sixth grade band.
Never a dull moment in the life of a middle school teacher!

I’m a “good sport”. 😂
Sometimes, it’s good for others to take a turn, but what the heck, right? 🙂

Oh yes, people don’t like to volunteer (especially in Central Oregon) it’s always the “same group” of people prepping fields for games, reffing games, shoveling snow, picking up trash, etc.

What a delightful pre-Christmas photo slice you created, Darin. I bet the students really enjoyed seeing you dressed as Santa the Barbarian. Enjoy your fame!

Good grief, snap stories were a-buzzing last night, let me tell you! 🙂
Someone said later, “It’s things like this that they will remember forever,” and that exactly why I do it.

LOL! I think the life of a teacher is never dull, period. Enjoy!

I hope we have the opporunity to meet someday. It’s comments like this that just make my day! 🙂

Me too. I’m sorry I couldn’t connect when you were out here.

A teacher’s gotta do what a teacher’s gotta do. In this case, it involves rolling your pride into a ball, tucking it in your left show, and taking in ALL the street cred because your kids think you’re the best.

I love that, rolling my pride up and tucking into my shoe! 🙂
However, you are exactly it. Making memories every where we go! 🙂

This is so fun! The kids must have LOVED it! They will definitely remember it!!!

Exactly. Swallow the pride and just enjoy the moment! 🙂
