Red Ribbon Week Dress-Ups

I'm on a roll with these blog posts!
This past week at school was Red Ribbon week. We had 3 dress-up days. Clash day:

I'm wearing a "party" shirt I found in an apartment in Spain. I thought it was cool and that I'd wear it a lot. The shirt is white with pink stripes. My tie is yellow, has stains on it, is thin and pretty ugly. Why do I even own it? You might ask. It was given to me by a member in Spain, who was the only worthy priesthood holder in that area at the time. He has since passed away actually. So it has sentimental value. There were contests each day for best boy and girl student dress-up and best man and woman teacher dress up. I won the clash day! I think I was the only man teacher to dress up. So not a lot of competition.

Day 2 was decades day. So I raided Jonny's closet and found an 80's shirt (which he wore regularly and was cool for him), which he got from raiding my grandpas closet.

Day 3 was Nerd Day:

I grabbed my nerdiest shirt, which happened to be a diamond fork shirt, borrowed Jonny's suspenders again, tucked my pants into my socks, put a bunch of pens in my shirt, parted my hair (which Lexi actually liked when I wore normal clothes) and put a post-it on that said "According to my calculations..." Oh, and I had a fly-swatter in my back pocket.No, the pimple is real, I didn't add it with a red marker, as one of my students asked. It's a legit zit!

As I mentioned in the last post, my classroom is in the CTE Technology building, set aside from the main school building. So us teachers in this building are tight. So here we are:

Oh, I also won the best nerd dress-up for male teachers on this day! Ha, I don't think many of the male teachers participated this day either.
