8th Grade Dance 9/16/11

Today was not a typical midtier day.  I volunteered to attend and help out with the after school dance that was held for the 8th graders.  I was assigned the duty of "front door guard".  Myself and the other midtier students at West were assigned different locations throughout the school.  We were equipped with walkie-talkies and were lead to our individual spots.  My job was relatively easy, but keeping the students away from their lockers; especially when "hair emergencies" were a huge issue was difficult.  I was amazed at the amount of drama that goes on in a middle school dance.  I saw at leas 5 girls leave the gymnasium crying and at least 5 boys be disciplined; one for "grinding" on Mrs. Roed.  I had to laugh when I heard that story!

Overall the experience was fun and I learned a lot about crowd control.  I am pretty good at manning the doors because I have grown up watching my Dad keep his schools under control.  Thanks Dad :-D
