My class made a wreath to enter into a contest at Mississippi State. It was for an event called Holiday in the Junction. Basically, they lit the Christmas Tree and sang some Christmas carols. Anyways, the big event was last night. The winning class was supposed to get to "light" the Christmas tree. So, of course, I did everything I could to make sure my kids were there in case they won. I sent home 3 notes, put stickers on them when they left school, and put a reminder in their homework chart. Much to my dismay, not one child shows up. So I go stand, ALONE, in the cold, waiting on them to announce the winner so I can get my wreath and go home. Finally, they started and announced the winner. GUESS WHAT....My class won! Which of course is very exciting, but NONE of the kids are there. So I go up there and am like...welll....none of the kids are here. So the man says, well YOU can light the tree. What fun What fun. So then I am obligated to stay for all of the festivities. After all, I can't swipe the winning wreath and go home before the event is officially over. Luckily, another teacher, Mrs. Aarhus, and her husband were there and kept me company.
I told the kids today that they won. They were pretty excited. The principal announced it over the intercom and came by to congratulate them and give them stickers. The "winning" wreath now hangs proudly on our door.
Here are some pics:

We called it "Bully's Christmas Collar".
