My favorite costume by far this year was M.C. Hammer done by one of our hilarious student (he has so much personality I would not be surprised if he ends up being famous). He burst into the office in full costume and even had the sides of his head shaved. He had the music playing on his phone and fully danced it out in the office...I love this kid!
For our costumes this year one of the new secretaries (Tiffany) came up with the idea of all the secretaries being inmates (which we kind of are) and took on the job of buying the painter suits ($4) and stenciling "Inmate" on the back and on the leg. She also took mug shots and posted them in the office windows between the paper bars she hung up.
It was pretty funny getting everyone to pose for these and of course she hung mine right in the front because she said it was her favorite (i.e., most hideous).
We posed for this group photo and I am highly disturbed to see what a bruiser I look like! I wore tattoo sleeves all day and couldn't believe the kids thought they looked real.
Whitney stopped by the office during lunch and totally nailed her mime costume this year.

Oh, wow! These are great costumes. This looks like a lot of fun.
You do look like you could take someone down in an alley in that picture. How funny.
Whitney's costume is great as well. Did she stay silent the WHOLE day?
AWESOME!
Fun group inmate idea! I bet the day passed quickly with all that going on. It looks like your school does it up right...ours calls it a "fall party" which, really, is just absurd. It's Halloween!!
Best costumes ever!!! Love it, love lurking your blog!
this is fantastic!~
How fun! Our kids don't get to dress up at school...lame! I love Whitney's costume. I used to try really hard to dance like McHammer!
I love it! Can't wait to see what you all come up with next year!
You look so fierce! WOW! What a fun idea.
Apparently I needed make-up tips from you because Emily went as a mime and looked pretty creepy. I don't think I'll show her how good Whitney looked!
Oh my gosh! I think my comment went thru! AHHHHH!
I have new filters on my computer that are not blogger friendly, so when I've tried to comment on your older posts, I get blocked!
I don't have time to go back and re-comment, but I still love reading your blog Jill!
'Death Row Inmates'. Funny stuff.
That's pretty fun. Group dress up would be the only thing I could possible do, I just don't have the confidence on my own. No wonder the students love you. You do look surprisingly brutish, I had to look twice.
That is the best group costume idea! And Whitney's mime costume is terrifying to me. Absolutely terrifying.
