Black and Gold Day - Hungarian style!

I have been talking about Homecoming week during all of my classes this week- it coincides with Burnsville’s Homecoming.  We discussed the different days of dress, the activities from the powder puff game to the dance, and the black and gold day events.  I explained pep fests and the drumline and danceline, and then encouraged the students to wear their school colors to school some days.  Today, my 9A students (the ones I know the best) celebrated Black and Gold day with me.  I told them that Black and Gold day is very important to my students back home, and that they take pride in showing support for their school.  They were very excited to take part in Black and Gold day – even though they are thousands of miles away from my Burnsville Students.  It brought them a bit closer to my home, and made me feel for a few minutes as if I was back at BHS.  It was very nice.  The rest of the school was a little confused as to why one section of students all dressed in the same colors, but whatever.  That’s what makes the English dual language program cool.  J
