This post is a bit of a departure from my usual musings, but I hope you'll find reading the content to be as fun as it was to live it!!
A week before the Thanksgiving break, I was sitting in the cafeteria with a couple of coworkers and our minds began to wander to the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas break. Well, once that started to happen, it wasn't long before we were talking about ways to make that time fun since it would otherwise be filled with end of semester projects, exams, and grades. From that conversation, was the birth of the idea to up-cycle some of our old school t-shirts.

From that conversation, was the birth of the idea to up-cycle some of our old school t-shirts.
The rules of the staff shirt up-cycle game:
- use an old staff or school shirt
- decorate it for the holidays
- best decorated shirt wins a prize (and honestly, it was so much fun I am bringing everyone something on Monday who participated)
When you throw something like this out, you never know who will participate. Some educators received a little (cough) help. Some decorated their shirts on their own. Some took old shirts and made something new like a scarf. All kinds of materials were used: paint, buttons, washi tape (wouldn't recommend it- I had to take it off halfway through the day), ribbon, etc. It was a blast and I hope you'll consider doing it with your staff too!
Hope you enjoy the pics!
