"Hanging Around" with Mrs. Anderson

This past Friday, our student body witnessed a historic event. For the first time ever, we hung a teacher from the wall with duct tape! Our PE Teacher, Mrs. Anderson, promised us at the beginning of February that she would "do something CRAZY" if we met our goal of $1800 for Jump Rope for Heart. She was true to her word! She announced on Wednesday morning that not only had we met our goal, but we had surpassed it, raising over $2100!!

Here are some pictures of this special day!
This first picture shows Mrs. Anderson waiting to begin speaking to all the third, fourth, and fifth grade students. You can see all the tape strips on the wall, just waiting to be used.
Here she is talking to all of us. You can see a number hanging from the wall...that's how much money our school raised for the American Heart Association! We should be so proud of ourselves. And one of our own classmates, Angela, was the student who raised the most money!
This next picture shows Mrs. Anderson with all the tape on her. It took quite a while for the students and teachers to wrap her with tape...probably about 15-20 minutes. This is just before the stool was pulled from under her feet.
And here she is, just "hanging" out with us! Mrs. Anderson smiled and laughed the whole time. She sure is a good sport!
We were lucky to get to see this, since it did not work out the first time. When Mrs. Anderson tried to get taped for the Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd, she was not able to stay stuck to the wall. She told me later that she timed it, and she was stuck to the wall for 13 minutes!
What did you think about this! Let's hear your thoughts on taping a teacher to the wall. Was that a good motivator to help raise money for a good cause?
