May 20th- Hooray for Miss Yohanny!

May 20th, 2016 Year 5 Day 20

FREE PRETZEL #20

For the final 26 days of the school calendar year, Johnson School has been counting down the days until the last day of school using he alphabet as its guide.  Each of the final 26 days coincided with a letter, starting with A and working our way to Z on June 16th.  This past week we had "D" for Dance day, "F" for Fancified Johnson day, when all were asked to dress in their Sunday best and "E" for Extra recess day.

Students lining the halls 

Friday was letter "H" and at Johnson its meant "Hooray for Miss Yohanny Day" celebrating our pretty awesome custodian.  At 2:15 the students and staff from our school lined the halls and Miss Yohanny took a walk as everyone gave her a standing ovation.  All of the classes even had a designated student give her cards that the children had worked on during the week and some students even gave hugs and flowers!  It was a pretty cool few minutes.  She was very emotional as would anyone would have been if they had received the same ovation.

Collecting her cards and recognition on a job well done

Miss Yohanny has worked at Johnson for about 15 years.  In the short two years that I have been here, she has helped me get desks and chairs for my classroom when I have needed them, and immediately.  She helped take care of a termite problem last year and even rearranged my room in the summer, much to my liking, that it saved me a few days from having to come in the summer.  That last part was a happy accident, but it was much appreciated.  She does so much for our school and it was really cool to see someone, who we know works hard every day, get a few minutes to be fawned over.  I think she was very touched.

Oh and I explained the blog to her in the morning and gave her the FREE PRETZEL.  It wasn't a card, an ovation or even flowers.  It was BETTER!  But seriously she said that she likes pretzels very much and she would enjoy it after her morning routine.

Thank you Yohanny for all you do every single day.

Until tomorrow...
