I learned a few things today, and I have some numbers to support my learning.
3, 150, 18, 3000, 5, 280, 60, 10.
- It takes a committed community 3 days to hit 3000 dollars in sales at a buy-one-get-one book fair.
- This committed community cleared their never-before-hit, projected sales goal by approximately 10%.
- It takes 150 students approximately 60 minutes to cover their principal in duct tape.
- 5 pounds of duct tape is enough to suspend a 280 pound superintendent 18 inches above the gym floor.
Our students, our staff, and our community came together this morning to do something that wasn't in our curricula. We won't be able to report the day in our test scores. The grade books won't be updated by the day's events. Truth be told, I couldn't be more thrilled about the way the day went.
If you're an educator, your students need to know you're capable of being silly, goofy, and human. Sometimes, it's good to let your hair down. (Yes, even the bald superintendent knows this.)
