Pied

Every few years, the school has a fund raiser where the chase prize is that some lucky staff member gets a pie to the face. Somehow, I always end up being one of the lucky few.

Here is me reporting to be pied. This has happened before. No big deal. Really.

Turns out this time, we get to pick our pie wielder out of a box and I happened to pick a student I've had in classes since freshman year.

Here's where he expresses his love and affection. Truly, I love this kid. I've been working with him for years. Although as it turns out, he finds me a challenging sort and decides it's not enough to just mash a pie in my face.

Oh no. There must be whip cream in the hair, just so I feel the love and appreciation :)

Really, this is what teaching is about because at the end of the day, it's the teachers that challenge us that make us feel seen. Today was a good day.
