Replace Principle Dr. Di Nicola with a duck in recognition of national duck day
The Issue
Every year, January 13th comes and goes without much fanfare, especially here at Simpson Middle School. Yet, this particular day holds a quirky significance - it is National Rubber Duck Day! We believe that celebrating this fun and unique occasion can be an incredible way to bring joy and laughter to our school community. To make this day extra special, we propose replacing our principal, Dr. Di Nicola, with a live duck for one day.
Now, don't get us wrong! We love our principal, Dr. Di Nicola, and appreciate all the hard work and dedication he brings to our school. This suggestion is not meant to undermine his leadership but to add a delightful twist to our routine while acknowledging a day that often flies under the radar. Think about the smiles, discussions, and creative learning opportunities this act could inspire.
Rubber ducks are a symbol of childhood joy, creativity, and innocence. They transcend age barriers and serve as a reminder that life is not always so serious. Replacing Dr. Di Nicola with a duck for a day could demonstrate these values, fostering a sense of community and togetherness.
Let's make National Duck Day a memorable event for everyone at Simpson Middle School and set an example for schools across the U.S. about the importance of community spirit and recognizing unique celebrations. By signing this petition, you will help us bring this fun and creative idea to life, ensuring that January 13th becomes a day of laughter, learning, and lots of quacks. Let's honor National Rubber Duck Day in the most memorable way possible. Please sign this petition to support our cause and bring a duck to Simpson Middle School on January 13th!
