Successful Great Gatsby Theme Day! :)For anyone who actually reads this blog and ISN'T in this photo, we've been planning a Gatsby Day for over a month. Today, we passed out invitations to random students in the halls that said "Dr. T. J. Eckleburg cordially invites you and a friend to the Green Light, Room 1003, April 2 1927, 12:20pm".
At break, we had a flashmob in the foyer of the Charleston dance, initiated by the lovely Sarah Cooke. Immediately following this, we rushed to Mrs. DeYoung (our English teacher)'s classroom to set up our speakeasy, the Green Light.
After a period of eating, drinking "giggle water" (also known as the punch Mrs. DeYoung made), and dancing, the bell rang for lunch and curious students began to arrive with their invitations in hand. Our class and quite a variety of other students spent lunchtime dancing (with us teaching the others how to Charleston, as well as a bit of jive and foxtrot), playing poker and blackjack, drinking punch, and just generally having a blast.
All of the stress and panic and sleep deprivation seems worth it on days like this. It's safe to say I love IB.
