The Freshman Class Meeting

OK, so during Homeroom, which is the last 40 minutes of the day, we had class meetings.

Homecoming is coming up in a couple of weeks and the different classes (Freshman, Sophmore, Junior, etc.) all are to be planning their homecoming floats, hallway decorations, and so forth.

Someone had the idea (likely as a cruel joke) to make me a Freshman class sponsor, along with three other teachers. I do not have any Freshman in any of my classes, so I don't know any of them. In addition, they are all squirrely as hell and can't sit still for more than 20 seconds at a time.

And I get to help them plan their homecoming float!

Yikes.

We had our second meeting today. I tried to organize 20-25 crazed 9th graders to get some sort of game plan together. What will our float be about? Who can bring costumes? Who will help make posters? You get the idea.

It isn't easy.

From what I understand, it is likely to get worse and worse as homecoming gets closer. Homecoming week is supposed to be crazy.

Yippee!
