The 1st Form Welcome Assembly is fun for both the
students and the teachers! Every class
plans a performance to welcome the new students. It’s now a tradition that the volunteer
teachers contribute a surprise performance of their own. My first year we dressed and acted like the
students, making a classroom setting, and saying all the funny things we hear
from them in class. Their roaring
laughter turned to screaming when we finished it all with a synchronized dance
number. Then last year we realized the
students cheer and scream so loudly it doesn’t even matter what we’re saying in
the mic because they can’t hear it anyway.
So the new lyrics for Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic
(which we stayed up way too late writing) were completely lost. No one could hear a single word once the
students saw a male teacher in a homemade wig dancing around as “Rose”. For anyone who taught here while Ms.
Katherine was teaching flute (recorder) you’ll really get a kick out of the new
lyrics:
Every Tuesday and Friday
We hear it, We fear it
That is how we know it’s begun
Far across the campus,
There’s not enough distance between us
We have come to tell you
move on, pick a new song
ONCE MORE WE TRY TO
IGNORE
BUT THIS SONG JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON
BUT THIS SONG JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON
Once we hear the song one time
It haunts us, a lifetime
Even in the states we’ve moved on (But we still keep hearing
this song)
Know that you don’t sound bad
It just drives us so mad
And we’ll just be so glad, it’s done
ONCE MORE WE TRY TO
IGNORE
BUT THIS SONG JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON
BUT THIS SONG JUST GOES ON AND ON AND ON
(Dancing – Dave’s Interlude)
CELINE DION, MOVE ON TO MOPAN
AND WE’LL HOPE THAT YOUR SONG IS LONG GONE.
BUT WE MUST STAY AT MT. CARMEL ANYWAY
SO WE’LL WEAR OUR HEADPHONES, HIT PLAY, AND
FORGET, THIS SONG.
This year we decided to mock the students and their quirky behavior once again. The students have a great sense of humor and love making fun of themselves (and us making fun of them, too!) Here we are in the school uniform.
