“Harlem Shake” strikes out

Harlem+Shake+strikes+out

Student council’s plans for a school version of the internet sensation “Harlem Shake” didn’t happen at the pep rally.  With students running out of time to make it happen and the pep rally already running long, Associate Principal Chris Mayfield sent students to first period.  Hoping to salvage the “Shake”, students quickly rescheduled it for A lunch.  But once again, the plans hit a snag.

The Red Ledger’s Mackenzie Miller sets the record straight in this podcast.

About the Contributor
Mackenzie Miller
Mackenzie Miller, Assistant Managing Editor
As a young child, Mackenzie Miller’s greatest aspiration was to become an astronaut. Unfortunately, her lack of life experience and general naivety prevented her from seeing that “astronaut” was really a dying career. Desperately trying to find new meaning in her life, Miller floated through her early years of schooling, seeking something to fill the void left by her prematurely crushed aerospace dreams.  Her existence finally became worthwhile upon joining the Red Ledger staff her senior year at Lovejoy High School. While soccer and her role as key club president had merely been ways to pass time in previous years, she found the meaning of life and the universe in newspaper. Miller is a genuine fan of all things Disney, especially The Little Mermaid, which she takes any chance to sing at the top of her lungs, and all things sweet. Devoting most of her conscious thinking power to cupcakes, Miller has little time for any other activities of merit. The sum of Miller’s existence, newspaper and cupcakes, nothing else.

    So the school organized pep rally ran late so the administrators zapped the Harlem Shake to get school going, then when it was trying to be finished in the cafeteria (yes THAT cafeteria) the administrators grinched it out again.

    Too funny you move school start times back so sports get more time (boy that could be whole Red Ledger series as to whether delaying school for sports is a good idea since it penalizes everybody but those particular cultures) then school pep rally runs late (did they get 15yd penalty for delay of school).

    Nice…
