[Music]Anthony Godfrey:
Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. Recently, many first grade classrooms in Jordan School District looked more like lively senior centers because students and staff were celebrating the first 100 days of the school year by dressing up as if they were 100 years old.
On this episode of the Supercast, we talk with some very impressive silver-haired students at Silver Crest Elementary School about their 100th day costumes. Find out what they say about the aging process and when someone is considered old.
We're going to start, however, with some teachers who also look aged to perfection on the 100th day of school.
[Music]I'm here with the first grade teachers here at Silver Crest. I cannot stop smiling and laughing looking at them, but looking at you guys was pretty startling as well. Did you have to dig deep for these costumes or is this just a regular Friday?
Teacher #1:
I just went over to my mother's house who’s 96 next month. I just picked from her wardrobe.
Anthony Godfrey:
What is this referred to as? Is this a house coat? What is this exactly?
Teacher:
Yeah, like a house dress.
Anthony Godfrey:
A house dress?
Teacher:
She called them a house dress. She always wore a turtleneck with it because she didn't want her neck to be seen. She had wrinkles on her neck.
Anthony Godfrey:
Oh, because she didn't want her neck to be seen. I see, because that would be a sign of old age.
Teacher:
And to keep her warm.
Anthony Godfrey:
Okay, well you wear it well.
Teacher:
Thank you.
Anthony Godfrey:
How about for the rest of you? The Golden Girls.
Teacher:
The Golden Girls look.
Teacher:
This is just fun Friday for me.
Anthony Godfrey:
Is it a particular Golden Girl or?
Teacher:
I am the Golden Girls.
Anthony Godfrey:
You embody all of them. Yes, very nice. Well, I really have to come back because some of you I haven't met and I really need to meet you in your natural state rather than in your this advanced age. How about for you guys? Where did you find your outfits?
Teacher:
I just got a collection. First grade teachers always have to have a bin of fun things. So we collect things, we dress up, lots of fun things.
Teacher:
I stole my grandma's nightgown.
Anthony Godfrey:
Does she know that you stole her nightgown?
Teacher:
Maybe.
Teacher:
I hit the DI.
Teacher:
So did I. The DI is an awesome place.
Anthony Godfrey:
The makeup, I hesitate to say this, but the makeup is a key component. It really brings out the, well, and the stockings. I can't stop looking at the stockings. The ankle stockings with the low heels and the skirt. Really, it's quite an ensemble.
Teacher:
My makeup took me back to my 80s.
Anthony Godfrey:
I also love that not only are you wearing glasses, but you have glasses on a chain around your neck. Now, the key component to this would also say, where are my glasses? I can't find my glasses.
Teacher:
Exactly. I never can.
