Where (and who) is Lynne?


Well, you had a week. Did you guess what Lynne was for Halloween?
That's right, she was...no, not a jailbird. Not the Hamburglar. Lynne was Waldo!

At left, Lynne. At right, not Lynne?

And the winner is...Josh! congratulations Josh, you've won a brand new...fanny pack! Retail value; $19.95. All rights reserved. Prize is non-transferable.
Matt had some doubts that anyone knew who Waldo was anymore, but apparently kids out there are still looking for him. Good for them. Although, perhaps they need something better to do with their time. Matt suggests looking for someone a little more famous. Like him. Or her.
Anyhow, kids were yelling "I found you" to Lynne all day and it didn't even annoy her. And, shockingly, there was a second Waldo teaching at Naperville Central that day. That's what happens when your colors are red and white. You're the home of the Fighting Waldos.
One story from Halloween because it's too odd not to share. But a warning: it starts out sad. So, there's one NCHS student who has an allergy to latex. A severe, terrible allergy. Like the stuff can't even be in the air of the building or it's dangerous to the kid. (That's the sad part.) So, the deal with the students was they had to prove their costume had no latex in it, otherwise it wasn't allowed in.
Flash forward to second period and there's an announcement.
"Excuse me teachers, we've called some manufacturers to check on costumes. If you have the following costumes in your class please send them to the principal's office. Cow with udders. Yellow banana. Man with two heads. Again, would the cow with udders, yellow banana and man with two heads report to the principal's office."
Now, that's not an announcement you can hear too often.
Oh, and what was Matt for Halloween? Scroogy McNofun. No costume required.
OK, so Matt and Lynne promised an update on where the ceremony and reception are going to be. And so you shall have it. Matt will get some pictures this weekend and post them here. So check back soon.
And maybe they'll have a few other surprises. Or maybe not. (It's a surprise!)
