As the faculty advisor of the King's Jr High Spirit Club (very prestigious), I take great delight in planning Spirit Week twice a year. Spirit week includes dress up days and daily competitions, all aimed at winning the coveted Spirit Cup. The highlight of Spirit Week this year was an awesome blackout volleyball competition between the 7th and 8th grade boys. This involved a completey dark gym, black lights, strobe lights, boys dressed in white and lots of glow necklaces.
Because I have 2nd block prep and I have a really hard time saying no to the jr high secretary (because she's my god mother), I got asked to guard the very expensive strobe lights during the boys PE class. Though there were cones protecting each of the lights, we knew that the boys could not be trusted to leave them alone. They were clearly instructed not to get anywhere near them during their warm up run, but of course, they did the following things:
- jumped over the cones
- ran around the cones
- pretended to kick the lights
-shoved each other into the lights and the cones
- punched the cones as they ran by
- aimed hockey pucks directly at the lights
Hypothetically, had it been a girls PE block, do you know what they would have done?
absolutely nothing.
