Halloween--Work Style

Halloween at the junior high is pretty fun from the front office staff's perspective since we get to see all the kids come and go but don't have to deal with any of the pesky teaching/learning.

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.

 

Tiffany wrote "Go to class" on our knuckles and may have to do this more often since we say it so much.

Whitney stopped by the office during lunch and totally nailed her mime costume this year.
