I'm All About Bribery...

Okay, well, in a small, legal way, not as in a "go to jail" sort of way...

Tomorrow night is the big "McTeacher" night in Lee's Summit for my school. Actually, I sit here and realize that it's October already...where did August go? Anyway, we've all known about this since before school started and we really have zero excuse not to have signed up yet, but being the busy teachers that we are, it took a backseat to the rest of our responsibilities. So today I went in to make a copy in the copy room, and there was a sign up sheet. I signed my name for a thirty minute shift, and walked away. Later in the day, there was an email. A very good email, in my opinion.

It stated that the good news was the some people had signed up. The bad news was that NOONE signed up for the 6-7 shifts. Apparently 5-5:30 makes it easier for someone to make an appearance and be at home to relax easier than the 6-6:30 shift. Yes, I'll admit, that was my logic when I signed up. So, they sent out a plea...

Sign up for a 6-6:30 or 6:30-7 shift, and you can wear jeans tomorrow! Woop!

I tell ya, they do that A LOT here.

We had a jeans day for 100% PTA participation.
We had a jeans day for giving to the United Way.
We had a jeans day for giving to the Lee's Summit Foundation.

Okay, well, each of those required a $5 donation, but I have to admit, it made me participate.

You have to admit, it costs the district NOTHING and it really makes teachers happy.

Oh, and did I mention I get to wear jeans EVERY Friday as well?

Ah...I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Life.
Is.
Good.
