Opening Ceremony

 Opening Ceremony at TES for the Testing Olympics was today and what a fun way to get the 3rd-5th grades pumped up for all those lovely test coming up next week! The whole school gathered in the gym for this celebration: metal awards (metals given to last years 3-5 graders who scored Proficient/Distinguished on the test), torch passing, school song and cheers! It was really neat to see how much everyone got into it!

Hayley's class held up their signs as the older grades marched in!

I let Taryn hold up a sign too! She did a GREAT job following the instructions that I gave her!
Ms. Penny and I had a few laughs out of it too..she was too excited!!
This is Hayley's sign she made

Each class was introduced as they marched in and let me tell you how creative the names were.  I was impressed that the teachers dressed up with their classes--the things teachers do for their students!! I only got pictures of a couple of the classes but they all had great ideas and themes.


Ms. Day's class dressed as babies complete with diapers--it was hard to get pics

Ms. O'Donnell's class did a version of  "Party in the USA"
the only part we understood was "Mr. Abell gonna wear a dress"
because we were laughing so hard. Oh yeah, they all had matching tie dye shirts that were really cool!!

Ms. Ruckreigel's  Rock stars
 complete with autographs

Ms. Buynak's brains
(shower caps with tissue paper to look like brains!)

Ms. Kelly and the school chorus sang "The Eye of the Tiger" while the torch was being passed around



the 5th grade chorus members lead us in the school song!

Happy Testing!!!

92 WE WANT YOU!!
DO YOUR BEST ON THE TEST!!
