Adopted Family Team 3
by Bobbi Williams
Teams of administrators, teachers, secretaries, cooks, and custodians have joined forces to raise money to adopt needy families for Christmas. Six teams consisting of Central School personnel will via for the opportunity to kiss a farm animal.
Students vote by placing money in containers with the teams' pictures on them. Containers are placed in various classrooms throughout the campus. They are also available in the office and cafeteria. To vote for a team to kiss a farm animal, coins should be placed in the team's container. Every cent in coins counts as a point toward the team total. To vote against a team, place dollar bills in the team's container. Paper money subtracts points from the team's total. The team with the highest (positive) number at the end of the competition on December 19 will have the pleasure of kissing a farm animal. The coronation of winners will be on December 21.
As usual, the votes will be counted by the scientific accounting firm of Decker and Ellis. Although they have been known to lose track of the votes, their decision will be final.
Team 3 -- The New Kids on the Block (and the new teachers): Miss Traylor, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Reynolds, and Mrs. Jackman (formerly Miss Clutter) -- in their own words:
We know you've heard this beat many, many times
But we bet you've never heard it with such a vicious rhyme.
We're teachers with class and plenty of clout
To show you other people what it's all about.
So for all you old-school teachers who are in a state of shock
We're the new kids on the block!
For any old-school teachers that want to battle us
There's no way you look as good as us.
We're the new T's, the best in the world.
We're the greatest teachers you've ever heard.
Now that you know we're a crew and you know we don't play,
We're the new kids on the block and we're here to stay.
