The NEW YMCA

Each year, during Reading week, the teachers make up some crazy thing about reading and do it in front of the kids. They love it, we get paid to dress up like goofballs and dance around! What other job would allow you to do that?? Ann, the other 5th grade teacher, and I wrote the words to the song and the girls and I collaborated ideas about the motions and props, and we created a masterpiece. Erin, Jessica, Amanda and I (the first year "suckers", minus Jessica) did the production called R-E-A-D, to the tune of YMCA. It was amazing. There are no words to describe it. You'll have to see it yourself.

I think you could totally copyright those lyrics! How great! WOW! The Lord has given you such gifts for music, silliness & acting! I don't think you'll hear the end of it, but I am sure it was worth it!!!

Thanks for bringing light & fun to my day!

Don't let Mom fool you, she has more talent than I do. That song is so great- how DO you come up with the words? You may have a career in doing song parodies. Here comes the next Weird Al Yankovich!
Love, Dad
