This week is spirit week at the school. The first day was come as your favorite meme. They chose some favorites, printed then taped or pinned them on their shirts, and headed to school to count their classmates to document which class had the most school spirit.
\\\Aliza's- I've found a 100% foolproof way for preventing sunburn, stay inside and read books.
Anna- You can dress like a farm girl but can you work like one?
Harold various automotive quotes.
More class competition with the annual dodgeball tournament the Junior girls won bragging rights for the year! Harold worked to get a team together last minute. He rounded up enough for a team they were out after one game but he got more kids to participate than were ready at the beginning of the tournament. I love his drive to compete and include others. We talk a lot about the secret of high school - show up and be present. They all had a good time and came home smiling. This is an intense tourney and the bragging rights are huge.
Then was patriotic day. A rare smiling photo of Harold.
And then to end the most recent activities there was the random drug test of all students involved in clubs. My three were called up then called again because they FAILED! Really.
I thought it was a usual teenager gotcha but no they were serious all three failed.
Reason- poppy seed muffins their favorite this morning. I had specifically instructed Aliza to make blueberry muffins, but poppyseed is quicker and cooks faster so that's what she went with. And alas they all three stood in front of the principal together as she quizzed them calmly on why they, surprisingly, all failed. Another memory for the books. They can still go to activities. Not sure if they will have to re-test or not. Glad their reputation doesn't match the obvious results. Some days....
