Joys of Being a Teacher

Many of you have only small children and live in a big city so you don't get to experience the joys of Homecoming!!! There is so much school spirit from pre-school to senior citizens in this community - or any IA community!!!

We had a week filled with chaotic children, candy, parades, pep rallies and to end it a big football game - which I am almost sure we lost. We made it to half-time before the squirming of the kids were too much for me to handle. Jason hadn't been to a high school football game since my days at Johnston!

I didn't get crazy this year for dress-up days, but a few of my fellow co-workers were in rare form. Blast from the past was the fun day where we had the late 80s to early 90s covered!!! Kate is sporting her tight rolled jeans with her cut-up sweatshirt and side pony tail.

This picture is not a head-on one, but these two get the award for the day. I can't believe that Amanda or Steve had any of these clothes left in their closets! Steve's jeans were authentic stonewashed jeans with tapered legs. He calls them his "two-story pants" since he had to jump to get into them. He wore a plaid flannel and white t-shirt to hide the tightness in the butt area! The picture doesn't do the color scheme of Amanda's pants justice. They were florescent yellow and she had a fluorescent orange sports bra on also!

Come join the fun at your local school!
