Do you want to laugh?

OK....so a few months ago, my student government started a fundraiser for the Make A Wish foundation. I am really attached to this organization and I believe strongly in it, but that story is for another entry. I was super excited because our junior high raised over $2000 which is an amazing amount of money!!

One of the incentives for raising money was a "Dare" assembly. I might have blogged a little about this earlier--but for certain amounts of money, people had to do different things. We had things like: eat a cow's tongue, shave your head, sumo fight in a fat suit, jump into a pool of pudding, etc. My friends Paige and Britney agreed to do a dance with me if the kids earned $800. Guess what the song was?

Yep...that's right.... All the Single Ladies by Beyonce. And of course, they raised enough...so we had to shake it for the whole school. One of my awesome students from student government, Alex, is a cheerleader, and she made up the dance for us because the actual one is not appropriate for young (or old) eyes. :)

I guess some brave student took out her phone and video-taped us while we were dancing! So if you want to laugh...check us out on YouTube. It's a side view...but you get the general humiliation. Xoxox
