🌟 Shh… It’s An Underground Spirit Week! 🤫 🌟 Teachers need some fun too! Before the break, we had a little secret celebration of our own—here’s how we showed off our spirit in style: 🎨 Monday: Monochrome Day – From head to toe, each of us rocked a single color. Who knew so much black could be so calming? 🎄 Tuesday: Dress as a Holiday – Turkeys, Santa Claus, and even a Leprechaun made their appearances in the hallways. The holiday cheer was REAL. 🤓 Wednesday: Nerd Day – Suspenders, glasses, and lots of calculators. We out-nerded our students! 🖍 Thursday: Grade Level Colors – Each grade team sported their assigned hues like champs. School pride, but make it colorful! ☕ Friday: Anything But a Cup Day – Coffee in a flower pot? Water in a cereal box? We got creative with our beverages. It was a blast keeping this under wraps while spreading joy throughout the week. Cheers to a little mischief and a lot of camaraderie! 🥳👩‍🏫 #UndergroundSpiritWeek #TeachersJustWannaHaveFun
