The Skit of all Skits


The volunteer teachers pooled together a couple of weeks ago and we performed a skit for the students here at Mt. Carmel High School during a welcome assembly for first formers (freshman). We almost didn't do it but at the last minute we grabbed uniform shirts from students, the guys put tons and tons of gel in their hair and spiked it up, put on a chain or two, girls grabbed cell phones and mirrors, and we took some desks to act out a class scene. We did about a five minute scene where I was the teacher and the rest of the volunteers were students. They threw paper at me and chewed gum in class (the paper hit me square in the face too! Good shot).

One of the guys grabbed the microphone and says, "Meees (Miss)are you married?" which is a classic question from the students and I replied, "That is not appropriate for class young man." He then responded with, "Do you
want to be married?" -Laughter- It was great. The kids were going CRAZY. Then Mr. Tom had an ipod and I say, "Mr. Tom. Is that an ipod?!" That was the cue for our music and just then Mike throws on the music and cupid shuffle starts. I turn around (facing the students) and pretend to write on a chalkboard when Mr. Dave gets up and starts doing a free style dance. The thing you have to know about Dave is that he is a ridiculously good dancer. He moves like no one I know! So the kids are SCREAMING and after a few seconds I turn around and he sits down. Then the second time, he and Miss Betsy dance together (more screaming) and I turn around and they sit down. The third time, all the volunteer teachers dressed up as students are dancing the cupid shuffle in time. I go to reprimand them but end up liking the song so we all dance together. We do the cupid shuffle for about one minute and then we got the principal to come in and say "What is going on in here?!" and we all get serious. I apologize and say the kids are "out of control today". Then the principal leaves and we all dance out. The students went absolutely nuts and were telling us how much they liked it for days! It was so great! Our fifteen minutes of fame.
