These people should win an award.
Here they are, dressed as superheroes "Scotty Man" and "Scotty Girl"--rewarders of appropriate behavior. They entertain our kids at assemblies every other month with their funny antics and positive message. Last night they showed up at our school's monthly fundraiser at the local restaurant to wait on tables, sign autographs and have their pictures taken with the kids, and remind them that "Appropriate Behavior Counts!". How cute are they!!
But hidden behind those masks are the real life heroes. A paraprofessional who works with "death students", as Bethany says. I think that would be deaf. He was more than a little self-conscious about going out in public with his tights on, but you wouldn't know it from looking at the picture. What a good sport. And a first year teacher who I would suspect, in these days of tightening budgets, may very well not be back next year. I've heard wonderful things from parents of students in her class.
Did they get paid for this little appearance? I think not. Why did they do it? Because they are committed professionals. They CARE enough to go the extra mile. Our kids go to a school filled with people like this. How I thank God for them!
Who are the superheroes in your kids' lives?
