Mrs. Nance has asked me to serve as Principal of the school March 13th! Me? A Principal? What a daunting task. What should I do? What do I do? These are important questions. I'm sixty years old and have never been Principal of a school so I've got to have immediate impact.
I'm trying to think of my several and natural moves:
- Change a few of the rules
- Give all of the faculty a pay raise
- Declare one Terry Holiday....maybe two
- Be sure to tell my Mom
What other ideas do you think would be good for me to implement? Do you think there'll be an intercom for me to make announcements....like updating the Cardinal game and the golf tournament?

Mandatory ice cream break!
Extra Recess time!
No Homework!!!
Pizza for lunch...and not the school cafeteria kind!
Make a visit to every classroom to personally say hello!!!
relieve a teacher for a much needed break!
Teach 1 gym glass and play the parachute game! Yes! This is a must...and you SIT IN THE MIDDLE UNDER IT!
How about hitting some balls around out at recess? And hey...wear your uniform...give cards...sign autographs! Yeah...they'll eat that up!
During the 3rd our of the day...just randomly get on the intercom and ask all the teachers and kids to join you in a round of the cha cha slide!
Don't call a tornado drill, or fire drill...but a FUN DRILL! Require them for 5 minutes to have some fun!
Serve lunch in the cafeteria.
Teach them some new vocabulary words. You know what words we are talking about! Terry-isms!
Oh! I like Brenda's ideas! :)
Reintroduce paddling into the school system for a day! Lifechanging! lol
I say you bus them over to Memorial and baptize every last one of them! Sure, their parents might be upset...but boy would you bolster your stats!
Sing! Especially after doing all the things Brenda suggested...you could be a hit!
Start out the day with singing "Take me out to the ball game" on the intercom!
Yikes! You all are giving me such helpful insight. You made me think of a great game.
I'm going to divide the kids into two teams: one on the south of
11th Street and those on the north. When I blow the whistle they will dart across during traffic. The last one standing uninjured is the school champion of Kids Dart Across!
Who knows? I may be asked back next year!
I would SO WIN that game! :)
You could trade each of them for a tank of gas like you did our older brother, Dennis. Remember Dennis? Good times.
I like the cha cha slide idea ... be sure to post it on YouTube!
All day recess.
