Halloween
I have to rely on my fellow principals to keep me out of trouble. In secondary schools we don’t have party days. In elementary, I have found that we do. We get a couple a year. So, I have had to ask the questions to keep me out of trouble. Trouble lurks… waiting… I’m on the look out.
I sent an e-mail to my distinguished colleagues in my district asking them about HalloweenFall Harvest and I got many different responses. My favorite was from a principal who will remain anonymous. He/She said that he/she loves Halloween and starts singing songs a few weeks in advance. For the life of me I can only think of one Halloween Fall Harvest Song. Come on, you know it, it’s Monster Mash.
I was delighted to find the little red light illuminated one morning about a week before Halloween Fall Harvest. (I’m lying. The little red light of doom never makes me happy, but for this story to sound good, it made me happy. Just for the record… if that light is on… there is trouble!) When I played my messages and made my way through the phone tree hierarchy of the ones from unhappy people… I found this… and I’m sharing with you…

On my birthday the day before Fall Harvest I had another message.

Just a question for my anonymous friend… do you know any Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus Winter Holiday Songs?
