Spring Sing!

My grade level is the only group in the school that doesn’t participate in our spring musical.  Yesterday I overheard a teacher saying that her husband had been given Elton John tickets but she couldn’t go because she needed to be at the concert to supervise her students. 
I told her if the principal would approve it, I would be happy to cover her class.  With administration approval I spent this evening in amazement.  I had about a third of the student body in their primary years.  Wow!  I felt so proud listening to them recite lines and sing with such pride.  I need to make sure I take the time to attend this every year. 

Today she asked if she could pay me, I told her I just want her to be forever in my debt!!
Dinner out with the staff before was an added bonus!

  1. That is truly a win-win - it sounds as if you had a fabulous time, and she certainly did, too. Kudos to your principal for being flexible! Fun night!

  2. It's wonderful to see other sides of students. I glad that the night worked out for both of you.

  4. That was so generous of you! I'm sure she will return the favor or at least you set an example of how to be truly dependable. I'm sure this has a huge impact on your school culture too. Seeing other students shine is great too!
