welcome freshmen

this week was sort of a welcoming week for the freshmen. i have only 2 9th grade classes. this is how the whole grade came dressed to school on thursday.

they wore garbage bags, socks and sandals, goggles, floaties, leotards... anything to make them look stupid. someone - i'm still not sure who - was awarding points for people dressed the craziest. i hope my 9a kids did ok. during class they gave me a shower cap, some water wings, and a ducky floaty to wear. i did it proudly!

today was STUDENT DAY at the new dorm. there were competitions among 9th graders starting at 830am. then students had street art, dancing, handball, pet beauty contests, and cookoffs. i was able to talk with many of my students and plenty of colleagues. i even got to taste some authentic, traditional hungarian cuisine. here are some pictures from student day.
