Fall Festival

In Chronicles of a First Year Teacher

Here's a picture from yesterday. This is my school's first annual 'Fall Festival.' I was working the football toss, which raked in $50 worth of tickets. It was basically the "who's the most macho" booth. The easy, medium, and hard targets to hit were labeled "Michael Vick," "Tom Brady," and "Daunte Culpepper." Starr will probably post something about his fantasy football prowess if I don't qualify that order. My kids are all obsessed with Michael Vick, one kid in particular. He even wrote a paper about why Michael Vick is better than Tom Brady. I egged him on to get him to write more by saying, "What about Vick's injuries? What about the Patriots' streak?" Now whenever Vick has a bad day I make sure to mention that to him, etc. The booth was just another one of my anti-Vick games I play with him.

Anyhow, this was a 12 hour workday. 9 staff members were absent the following day because we were so beat. On the other side of the camera is the whole festival. I was in the back.

Oh, and that tie is some cheap clip-on tie that my school gave me to give away as a prize. It wasn't a very popular prize. I bet it would fare better at UVA.
