One of my favorite pictures! I do not know who these students are but they definitely like the shout outs at football games! This took me by surprise but also made me realize how lucky I am to be a teacher and be in District 303.
One of the many ways I try to let kids know they are a part of something is by calling them out at sporting events and making them laugh or wave! Along with students, parents have become fans along with the average passerby's.
Some lines that draw attention are "Please be kind, pick up from behind" and "The concession stand is awaiting your business, and speaking of business, the port-a-potties are next to the concession stand." Along with the students and parents I try to incorporate the administration into the festivities at the games, especially with St. Charles North. Those games are usually the "Cross-River Dean's Night Out" "Hug Your Principal Night" and "Administrators are not just pencil pushers but are people too! So give your favorite administrator a hug!" The key is to make people feel like they are a part of something, kind of like what Saturday nights were like in my household when we all watched television or played a board game.
Luckily, I still have a job!
