cRAzY wEEk! Oompa Loompa Style

It has been "crazy" week around here. Becca's school has been having a "crazy" week. There was CrAzy HaIR daY, for which she donned a green wig! Crazy "Polo Shirt" day which is a very big deal if you go to a school that requires uniforms in NOT your favorite colors. This was a favorite day among students because you didn't have to tuck in your shirt...or where a belt! There was also crazy fEEt day. This was also a treat because your shoes did not have to be 100 percent white or black. It has been very amusing to me that something so very "normal" at any other junior high or high schools could be so inspiring and cRaZY when you go to a uniform school. They even have fundraisers at the school where they sell regular T-shirts and if the kids buy them, then on test days they can wear them. These are very popular fundraisers.

The week was capped off with Armageddon!

The school is divided into legions and the different legions compete to see who is the best legion. Becca's legion took first place out of fourteen! Of course this required her to compete in the "five minutes of pain" category for which she and her good friends dressed as an OOMPA LOOMPA (from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and sang for the judge...the most painful performance won. There were other categories as well....like volleyball, dodge ball, extreme trivia, and an eating contest that curled my stomach when it was explained to me. I think the OOMPA LOOMPA painful performance may have tipped the scales in favor of Becca's legion! Hence the first place. Becca originally signed up to be in the eating contest, but then thought better of it since she would have no control over the number of carbs she would have to consume in a five minute limit. Thankfully she made this wise choice because after what I heard about what was consumed I believe she would still be in the hospital had she competed.
