  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มี.ค. 2015
  • Principal Walker's incentive for our students during our district iRead (Read-a-thon) competition was that he would dress up as Bruno Mars and dance and lip sync to Uptown Funk if our students met their goal of reading at least 250,000 minutes as a school. Our students exceeded that goal. Here is Mr. Walker's amazing performance dancing through the hallways of Sherwood Elementary School in Highland Park, IL.

    What a way to get to your children. We can sit all day & say "when I was in school.." this Mr. Walker took the time to learn the dance moves & song. These children thoroughly enjoyed that. This is a "when I was in school" story they will tell to their children & grandchildren etc. He should receive Principal of the year. Thank you Mr. Walker for teaching your children that school can be fun & give you long lasting memories. I had a teacher like that. R.I.P. Mrs Garelick.
