Every year, Limited Edition, the school's vocal group does a fundraiser called singing valentines. Five members of the club will serenade your valentine with the song of your choice from a selection of like 5 or 6 songs. The choices included songs by the Temptations such as My Girl and Stand By Me and other classics such as in the Still of the Night and Can't Help Falling in Love with you...You can purchase them and have them go to a person at EHS or on Valentines Day, the students travel and sing to members in the community. It was quite the show. Each person serenaded receives 1 red rose as well.
It was a nice change to hear the valentines being sung throughout the day in the science wing. Until...It's 6 period (the last period of the day) and my students are taking their exam on the skin. Most of them are done as there is about 30 minutes left of class. In file 5 Limited Edition members and I was wondering who in the class was about to get serenaded...they walk in front of my desk and 2 of them are my students (one from 6th period and the other from 2nd period) and turn the corner and congregate around me! One of the other staff members sent me a singing valentine! They then proceeded to serenade me with Stand By Me. (which has been stuck in my head ever since)...So, yeah, today was just another day at the high school....
