This year, we have been asked, as a staff, to dress up in costume for next week Wednesday's classes. Students will vote on the best costume or set of costumes (teachers are encouraged to come up with a theme with other teachers), and the third hour of the teacher with the best getup will get some sort of reward. However, I am drawing a complete blank.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a set of Jedi robes, a Hobbit outfit, a Ghostbusters jumpsuit, or a Starfleet uniform for occasions like this. It's just never been a priority. Also, it's only been recently that our finances have not been continually tight. Costumes, especially ones that are only used once or twice, were not a practical option. I felt guilty spending the money we did on our Renaissance garb, and we used that at least once a year.
Still, I'd like to do something. I just don't know what.
