As part of “undercover dress up week,” teachers and staff held a “wig and wacky hair day” today” with their locks arranged in madcap styles or colored from platinum to hot pink to all the hues in a rainbow.
In undercover dress-up week, the teachers and staff, unannounced, choose a style for the day. The themes gets progressively more noticeable as the week goes on, said K-8 counselor Shanna Roloff.
“We did it two years ago and the kids really loved it. It’s a way for them to look forward to something and have fun. The smiles in the hallway this morning were hilarious.”
Monday of this week was “hats day), which some of the students picked up on. Tuesday was “Blackout Day,” so all-black clothing was de rigueur. Wednesday was “Workout Day,” with athletic clothes the fashion. Tomorrow is “Zoom Call.” They will wear fancy tops and sweatpants bottoms.
