THE SURPRISE

Well this just tops them all.. My first period class just threw me the most amazing surprise party EVER! One of the first things I thought of was that I wished I had a camera to capture all of the streamers, the balloons, the kids' faces, the cupcakes and candy and bagels, and more.

They made a toast to "The best sub EVER!" Ha ha, it was truly wonderful. I felt quite loved.

For those who don't know, my birthday was on Tuesday, and I was planning on having a party on Wednesday with the students, but then they convinced me to do it next week because a student wasn't going to be here, and so that was the plan, or so I thought. Yesterday they were passing around a sign-up sheet for students to bring food, and I still thought that was for next week, not today. One of the counselors sent me to the office at the beginning of class and I thought I was in trouble for something, or that they were talking to the kids about the teachers' awards assembly next Friday. What they were really doing was throwing streamers over everything, pulling in food from next door, and hiding in their spots.

It has always, always been my wish to have a surprise party thrown for me. And they did it perfectly--I had nary an idea. :)

Phil,
I was so unhappy when i heard of this- i had wanted to throw YOU one, but they beat me to it. Of course, our suprise party would be a little more...intimate... if you know what i mean ;-)
