I started a "First Friday Fun" thing with our school this year through PTA. The first Friday of each month we have our mascot, Eagleton, in the carline greeting students as they come to school and we also have a special treat for all of the teachers that day.
Our first Frist Friday was in September and the students we were all really excited to see Eagleton as they came in the building! We popped popcorn and brought around popcorn bags to all our teaches that afternoon.
In October we had the Kickapoo Golden Girls Dance Team help greet students, along with Eagleton in the morning carline. We gave the teachers a three-pack of some nice chapstick that we had donated to us from Blistex. It might not be something big, but just a little something to say we appreciate you!
November was my favorite First Friday so far...we had the Kickapoo (Kickapoo is the high school that Mann students feed into) Drumline playing for about 30 minutes in the morning during carline drop off. It was so much fun! I absolutely loved them being there and since I was dressed as Eagleton that day I got to play the drums a bit, too! The drumbline was so very good and I think most of the neighborhood was able to hear how good they are, too! :) We gave the teachers a mini bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes as a treat that day and stocked their refrigerator with some yummy flavored coffee creamers.
For December we are planning on having Eagleton in the carline again and have Christmas music playing for all to hear. We are getting some kringles and other pastries from a local favorite bakery as a treat for the teachers. I have really enjoyed this First Friday program and hope everyone else has, too!
I'm Eagleton in both of these pictures! It's fun being Eagleton and all the kids really love him!
