Jazz up your picket line!

Hey picketers of all site and descriptions! Since it looks like Dr. V (sorry, fellow employee Dale) has plans for us to continue our happy vigils (no pun intended) after the break, we may as well think about how to make our picket lines more fun and uplifting! I know that on our line at the District office, we have had at least one pithy ditty made up on the spot which helped make the day go by faster! I think that others of you also have been very creative in this regard, so I am proposing that we share our creations in this space...I will start...

To the tune of,
"If you're happy and you know it,"

If you're happy and you know it, raise our pay!
If you're happy and you know it, raise our pay!
Show the teachers that you care
Raise our pay to what is fair!
If you're happy and you know it, raise our pay!

Johnny Cash Lives!
Hi, Julie g. and all other striking teachers. Speaking of singing on the picket line...hopefully you will soon see video of Ruus teachers rifting on this Johnny Cash favorite, "I Walk the Line". My husband was up at 5:00am on Day 1 and he put this together for us.

And it goes something like this...

We teach our students to read and write and rhyme,
They won't pay us fairly for our time,
The superintendent thinks that that is fine,
But it's a crime,
We walk the line!
