Duct Tape Diva

This post has absolutely nothing to do with music and everything to do with my principal who will go to great lengths to get her students to read.  Last year, during our 25 Million Word Campaign, Mrs. Phillips agreed to be duct-taped to the wall while reading books.  She was unable to fulfill her obligation due to her being "in the family way."  Today, she made good on her promise.

For two hours, Mrs. Phillips was duct-taped to the wall in the lobby.  Scores of children paraded by her while she read books.  It was quite the sight.  Matter of fact, I've never seen anything like it.  I admire this woman greatly.  Her two hours on the wall had to be squeezed in between three different awards ceremonies celebrating our honor students and outstanding citizens from the first quarter.  I'm still not sure when she ate lunch (or if she even got to eat lunch today). 

She is such a good sport - all in the name of literacy.  I tried to capture her in photos, but they just don't do her justice.  I didn't realize duct tape came in so many different colors.  Our PE coach strapped her in with several strands of University of Florida-colored duct tape.  The problem is that she's a Clemson fan and I'm afraid our Coach is going to pay dearly for that decision.  Ah well....

Mrs. Phillips - The Duct Tape Diva

How will she ever top this one?

Until next time...
