PUTTING A LITTLE BIT OF SCHOOL HUMOR IN YOUR
NEWSLETTERS TO PARENTS

THIS IDEA WAS INITIATED BY A PARENT WHO ALWAYS
HAD A FUNNY SCHOOL JOKE WHENEVER SHE ATTENDED
OUR PARENT MEETINGS.EVERYONE LOOKED FORWARD TO
MISS LILLY'S HUMOROUS SCHOOL JOKES.

IT WAS VOTED THAT MISS LILLY HAVE HER HUMOR
PRINTED IN ALL EDITIONS OF ANY PARENT NEWSLETTER
THAT WERE SENT HOME.

WELL,THE PARENTS RECEIVING THE NEWSLETTERS,COULD
NOT WAIT FOR EACH NEWSLETTER.THAT WAS 4 YEARS AGO.
CALLS WERE ALWAYS MADE TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE,BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD NOT RECEIVED THEIR LATEST NEWSLETTER.

THUS, BEGAN OUR" SCHOOL CHUCKLES" FEATURE OF A
JOKE OR TWO PER ISSUE.

HERE'S JUST A FEW...
TEACHER:BRIANA,YOU FORGOT THE DOT OVER THE i.
BRIANA:I DIDN'T FORGET.IT'S STILL IN THE PENCIL

TEACHER:CHARLES,YOU'RE LATE AGAIN THIS MORNING.
I CALLED YOUR PARENTS,AND THEY SAID YOU
LEFT THE HOUSE IN PLENTY OF TIME.NOW WHAT IS
THE REASON FOR YOUR BEING LATE?
CHARLES:MISS JONES,I DID LEAVE HOME ON TIME,
BUT EVERY TIME I GET CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL,THE
STREET SIGN SAYS."SCHOOL-GO SLOW"

TEACHER:MARK,THIS ESSAY ABOUT YOUR DOG IS
EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOUR SISTER'S.
MARK:WELL, MISS CANNADY, IT'S THE SAME DOG.

MISS LILLY WAS GETTING HER HUMORUS JOKES FROM
A BOOK OF 10,000 JOKES AND ANECDOTES FROM THE LOCAL LIBRARY.

HER IDEA EVOLVED INTO A FAMILY ACTIVITY:TO ILLUSTRATE THE JOKES AND SUBMIT THEM TO THE SCHOOL TO BE POSTED AROUND THE SCHOOL FOR ONE MONTH.ALL RECEIVED A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION.
(We had all entries enlarged to 11x17 on our copier)
THE KIDS WHOSE FAMILY SUBMITTED AN ENTRY
COULD NOT HELP BUT POKE THEIR CHEST OUT
WHENEVER THEY WOULD PASS THEIR FAMILY
ENTRY IN THE HALLWAYS.

THE PRINCIPAL,THE TEACHERS COUNSELOR ECT.
ALWAYS COMMENTED ON HOW THE HUMOR RELEASED
STRESS WHEN THINGS GOT HECTIC. THEY WERE A
"PICKER UPPER"

AND YOU WOULD KNOW THE KIDS WERE GOING TO PICK UP ON IT AND START CREATING THEIR OWN JOKES AND ILLUSTRATIONS.SOME WERE AWESOME AND VERY CREATIVE.

TRY IT AT YOUR SCHOOL AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
YOU'LL BE HUMOROUSLY SURPRISED.
