"Good мornιng everyone oғ Dυncan Meмorιal Hιgн Scнool. Yoυ all are proвaвly wonderιng wнo I aм. Well, I aм Dυncan Meмorιalѕ NEW PRINCIPAL!!!

(Sayιng to мyѕelғ,
"Oн God. Fιrѕt
We нave a new good looĸιng ѕcнool, then we нave ѕoмe new students, then we have new school colors and Now a NEW PRINCIPAL?! Wonder what else is gonna change."

School principal: "Yes, you're probably all shocked. My name is Mr. Dunphy and I may sound nice now, but as you start getting comfortable at this school, I'm gonna get a whole lot tougher... But we don't have to worry about that and without further or do, let's sing the Pledge of Allegiance.

Everybody together:

I pledge of Allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation, under God, In a visible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

(Everyone sits back down)

"Alright I guess he's done now. Hello students, I am your teacher Mrs.Hemmings and I teach Math. Yes, I know what you're thinking. Here's the answer. The reason that I am teaching Math still is because I want kids to walk out of this class at the end of the year and be like "I did it." Even though I am 67 years old, I still want to keep on going. So now, get out a pencil and you'll be starting a 10 page packet."

(Talking to self) Just to think that we were gonna be off the hook for a couple days...UGH this is gonna be a LONG school year....
