WE WON! WE WON!! WE WON!!!
I really should be in bed right now since I do get to go to school tomorrow BUT I am still too excited.
Almost all of them have been lucky enough to have me as a teacher since I was fortunate enough to teach all of the 8th graders the past 2 years. See earlier post to get my feelings on that. We played the first game of the season this evening. I know Thursday night games are a real bummer. BUT WE WON !!!!! We beat Quapaw 34-0. They even had several players who had transferred from Picher since Picher did away with all sports this year. Our boys played with heart the whole game. We only have 4 seniors out this year so we are in a building situation. This is our new coach's first year to be a head coach, and I must say he is very excited.
After the game the coaches requested that the band stay in the stands to play the school song. After our players had shaken hands with the other team, they all came over to the sidelines, clapped their hands as the band played and sang the school song at the top of their lungs.
I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!
I really LOVE FOOTBALL when I know the players,
and
I know all of the players this year.

I LOVE SCHOOL SPIRIT!!!
It was WONDERFUL!!!
It was AMAZING!!!
It did this old cheerleader a world of good!!!
Tomorrow will be a GREAT DAY!!!
The only thing that I couldn't quite get my brain around was how many of the players and cheerleaders were children of former students of mine. I guess when you've hung around as long as I have, you just have to get used to this sort of thing. It really does blow me away at times. It does do the old heart good to talk to the parents though and see that they are trying to raise their children to do better than what they did. There are so many success stories out there. It makes an old teacher proud. I like to believe that my students' success rate is much higher than the failure rate. I love what I do. I gripe and complain. I get behind and have to work my buns off. BUT I really do LOVE what I DO!!!
I must now go try to get some rest so that I can drag this old body out of bed tomorrow to make it to school. Thank goodness it is jeans day. I arranged my English III classes so that we could read Reader's Digest jokes tomorrow. I found an article about how laughter makes the brain function better and we read through it today and discussed the premise. Tomorrow we will read jokes and improve our brain functions.
English IV is reading Beowulf so I guess we will continue it tomorrow. Someone has taken, or hidden, my CD of Beowulf so I am reading it to them. Tomorrow they may get a chance to read some of it themselves. I might have to spring the Reader's Digest article on them too and continue Beowulf next week. If I don't leave and go to bed right now, we might just be taking power naps all day and that would never do.
Did I mention that
I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!
GO BEARS!!!!!

Well, even though I don't have a nephew on Wyandotte's football team this year I think I'll be rooting for WHS more than Fairland. Fairland suhhhhhhucks this year. Poor Owls.
