Don't Be A Bull-Y

The Rodeo Royalty, SF rodeo representatives, the Mayor of SF, and Officer Peterson presented “Don’t Be a Bull-y” to Rees students on Wednesday.  The clown talked about winners and losers.  He explained to us, that at certain times, there will be a winner and a loser, but there are things we can say to help the losers.  Rees students are smart because they knew those answers: “You’re awesome!”, “You can do it.  Keep trying!” and “You did a good job!” were a few of the answers.  To demonstrate this, he had students and teachers participate in barrel racing.  Students raced around the barrels (aka teachers) as fast as they could to see who could get the fastest time.  There was a winner and some losers, who most importantly, sat down with a smile on their face-thanks to the students who knew what to say.

The grand finale ended with the clown trying to rope Mr. Wright.  It was an intense moment as Mr. Wright took off and the lasso headed his way.  But with Mr. Wright’s quick skills, he was able to escape! 

Students will have the opportunity to win a pair of tickets to the Fiesta Days rodeo and a pair of cowboy/cowgirl boots will be given out.  Thanks to the presenters and participators.  We all had a ropin’ great time!
