Pep Rally

CRCT...
if you are an educator or a parent or are related to any child in school you know what those four letters mean.

TESTING. TESTING. TESTING.

We are exactly one week from the beginning of this VERY important test! A test that has good and bad points...I won't go into that right now. But anyways...

This week is called "Operation Buckle down" and it's kind of like a spirit week!
Monday: Black Out Day
Today: Silly Sock Day-"Knock the Socks off the Test!"
Wednesday: Hat Day-"Hats off to good testing!"
Thursday: Sunglasses Day-"Expect a BRIGHT Future!"
Friday: Twin Day-"Team Up Against the Test!"

Yesterday we had a pep rally to start off the week! And since our school is in the same town as a big university, the coaches came to pep up our students for the BIG test!

This coach was one of them!:

It was kind of funny how all the teachers reacted...some acted like they were star struck. The kids loved having him in our building and loved his speech. He compared the CRCT to a football game...which was a great analogy for our students!

Just a perk of living in the same town as the university!

  1. That's such a neat idea for the week before CRCT's! I bet reactions were hilarious when he showed up!
