Whew. The pressure was on today. My principal asked me about a month ago if I could plan a pep rally. A few things to take into mind.... 1-LF hasn't had a pep rally in almost 8 years, so I took that as a huge compliment that he even asked me. 2-Imagine creating 45 min. of "fun" to entertain over 1000 middle schoolers... and 3-A small amount of freedom can lead to lots of trouble!
Well... we pulled it off! It was SOOO great! My cheerleaders were great, teachers volunteered to come "dance" and even be apart of the toe-touch competition, and the kids actually got involved and then somehow miraculously went to their seats when they were supposed to. It was planned out minute by minute which kept them entertained and excited.
I really am thrilled. To some of you, this doesn't seem like a big deal but knowing that a lot was riding on this one event (particularly my reputation!)--I was a nervous wreck!
WOOHOO! Glad it's over!
