We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do

Rai, two Friday's ago, Galileo High School, our high school, held the 65th annual Song and Yell contest. It's the year's biggest pep rally with all classes competing against one another to determine which group has the most school spirit.
This year, the Song and Yell was held on our brand-new turf football field and one of the judges was the S.F 49er who had helped bring the field to Galileo. This year, your Mom and Dad were also lucky enough to participate in the competition. As class sponsors for the sophomore class, the Class of 2012, we were asked to be part of the skit and dance portion of their submission in the contest. Your Mom practiced for a couple weeks with the group. Your Dad, well, umm.. he joined them at their practices only 3 days before the big event. The results are quite obvious: just watch the video at the end of this message to see what an unpracticed dancer looks like!
Maybe your bad dancer Dad is the reason that our class got last place too... but, more likely, the reason is that we sold the fewest Homecoming Dance tickets and something about cheering when it was another class' turn to cheer. The good news is that we are destined to win, eventually. The senior class has lost only twice in the 65 years of this contest so, if not next year, then we will definitely win two years from now!
Now Rai, if we're lucky, we may end up with one of those unique scenarios where our child is in our school or, better yet, one of our students. I'm sure you're already looking forward to that too!
