Have you ever wondered what a special someone is? Or, what do you have to do to earn it? Maybe you’ve wondered, why do these even exist? I asked Mrs. Todd a few questions about special someones, because she is the one who announces the special someones, and you might get some answers.
What exactly is a special someone? I asked Mrs. Todd that and she told me, “A special someone is someone who does something special for someone else or shows good character traits.” For example, someone falls in the hall and all their stuff goes everywhere, you help them and a teacher sees you, then they might give you a special someone. There are many ways you can get a special someone and you never know when you can get one.
Next, I asked Mrs. Todd, how does she choose the students and teachers? She said, “I pick a name out of the box from each grade and the kids can’t have missing assignments or bad behavior. And the teachers I just randomly pick, but the students can make suggestions on what teacher they want picked.” So, if you get a special someone, bring it down to your box, sixth and eighth graders bring it down to the sixth/eighth grade office and seventh graders bring it to the seventh grade office.
The final question I asked Mrs. Todd was, what prizes do you give out? “The students get a free coupon for a concrete mixer at Culvers and the teachers get to wear sweats or jeans for the day.” says Mrs. Todd. Now that you know what a special someone is you can work on getting one.
