Punk'd

Ha!  After being burned so many times by April Fools jokes that I was looking for something to do today.  Our students are asked to complete 100 PE hours a year.  I think that my 16 mentees have a total of 96 for the year.  Anyway, here's what I put out to all the kids today and they totally took the bait.  It was awesome!!!  It's payback to the Fool Gods for that one year when NPR tricked me into believing that people were going to be able to keep their zip code if they moved, just like a cell phone number.  I ranted about that for a good 20 minutes.

Dear Students:

As a result of so many Huskies not completing their mandatory 100 hours of physical activity, the Board has decided to institute required Gym Class to replace IL [study hall].  In true Summit fashion, we are leaving the decision for the sports up to you.  Due to the limited budget and the state of the economy, we are limited to low-cost high-caloric burning sports.  Please rank your top five of the following sports from 1-5, with 1 being your first choice. 

Thanks,
Ms. D, Athletic Director
