Happy Fun Friday the 13th. While running away from Jason Voorhees at an abandoned lake camp you can think about how much nicer a sunny ice cream lunch with country music in the background would be.

Fun Fridays

Dear Ms Roche,

I would like to commend the ASBC for organizing “Fun Fridays” for all of the hard working students at The Bishop’s School.  These fun-filled days occur way too often. How generous it is for the administration to give the student body the gift of free dress, music and ice cream once every two months.

Free dress days are the greatest. And having to abide by the school’s dress code anyway makes it so much easier to choose your attire. For this we thank you.  Who needs to wear shorts, three inches above the knee, when you can wear jeans on a hot sweltering day? And, tank tops? Why bother.  Covering our shoulders is a much better idea.  We would not want to get too much of that pesky vitamin D into our bodies. Even though the medical community is concerned that most of the population has a vitamin D deficiency, it is nice to see that the administration knows better.

Having music to listen to is a nice touch. Country lyrics blaring so loud your eardrums bleed is very relaxing. With the seniors guarding the boom box with military conviction it's just like being at a concert.  It would be utter madness to allow the students to listen to music they actually wanted to hear.  The administration thinks of everything.

Finally, the ice cream, the most important part of our beloved “Fun Fridays.” Before “Fun Fridays” I had no idea that a popsicle was considered an ice cream.  Instead of enjoying a delicious bowl of chocolate chip ice cream, we get to have a sticky, drippy popsicle that stains your clothes, hands and face.  It is so much fun being crushed by a sweaty mass of people fighting to get a frozen treat on this foodless campus. The pushing, shoving, and name-calling reminds me of my sister and I.  This type of closeness really brings us together as a community.  Very commendable Ms. Roche you are very cunning.

In conclusion I want to thank you, Ms Roche, once again for bringing us “Fun Fridays.” I cannot imagine my Bishop’s experience without the identically dressed children in free dress, the blaring country music that I am learning to tolerate, or the bruises and permanent scars I have earned to get my delicious popsicle.

Your grateful pupil,
