If you have ever been a teacher, you know that one of the great perks of your job, is having summers off! No matter how great the district or system is, and regardless of your level of dedication, those days of orientation before the students first day back are usually a drag!
Boring speeches about curriculum are hardly inspirational. This West Des Moines Community School District listening to the superintendent’s speech are shifting in their seats, looking like they are thinking “here we go again” when something amazing happens!
The humdrum speech of the superintendent, is suddenly interrupted by the opening of the curtain behind her and a screen being lowered. There is only one more day left to prepare before the kids start. Whether you are an experienced or new teacher, nervousness abounds. Listening to a dry speech just never cuts it. Some of the teachers in West Des Moines have come up with just the surprise to wake up their colleagues spirit.
You are about to watch this district-wide group of teachers get inspired with unexpected humor and song. As the superintendent drones on, one teacher walks out with a mike and interrupts beginning a parody of the song, “One More Day” from Les Miserables! What ensues is a video that will make you day!
