A big crowd at Ed Mayne Stadium for Wolverine Football! |
School started this week so I am back to my normal (read: insanely busy) schedule. I am still suffering a little bit from jet lag so I didn't feel as prepared to start the school year as I normally do but the kids still showed up at my door any way! The good news is that I seemed to muddle through just fine and I have enjoyed getting to know my students. The officers, of course, have hit the ground running and I am very proud of all of their hard work. We had our Welcome Assembly yesterday and I think it went really well, especially considering that we had three days to prepare!
The spirit can made an appearance at the assembly. |
Now that school is in session, I will be spending many of my Friday nights at football games. Last night was our first game of the season against the American Fork Cavemen. The Wolverines seemed to struggle a little bit because many of our stars from last season graduated and players are settling into new roles. At one point, American Fork was up 17-0 and then Hunter came alive scoring three unanswered touchdowns. However, American Fork scored twice in the fourth quarter to win the game 31-21.
The spirit can made an appearance at the game, too! |
Even though we lost this game, it was still a lot of fun! The officers made banners and used the spirit can to keep the crowd cheering. Being at the game makes for a really long day but it is so fun to see the students outside of the classroom and I had a group around me most of the time. Now that football season is here I want it to be fall!
