Today we welcome back familiar faces to a new year, and with them, a new wave of students into the sandy halls of D.A. Whether you choose to spend your time rushing the field with our [b]five-time[/b] National Championship lacrosse team - [i]Go, mighty Tides..![/i] - or rocking out in the quad to the sweet rhythm of the jazz band; with more than enough extracurricular sports, activities, and clubs on offer, you're sure to find the right place for you, surrounded by like-minded peers who, despite differences, come together to create a close-knit and welcoming community. So now that's out of the way, let's get down to the four-one-one on how your first day at Delbrook is going to go. Today is all about getting in the groove; and no, I don't just mean with the dance squad or the cheerleaders... No. Today is going to consist of familiarizing yourself or re-familiarizing for our returning tides, with the school. This morning you'll attend your homeroom, where you'll meet your classmates and teacher before heading to the auditorium where our mighty Poseidon - our principal, for those of you who might not know - will address the school and give us a brief rundown on what the new year is going to look like. But once that's done... light that bonfire, and get ready for a luau; because the sharks, along with our amazing seniors, have prepared one hell of a welcome home party for us all..! So be sure to head on out to the lacrosse field and check it out..! There are food trucks, carnival games, rides, and booths- make new friends, meet the clubs, and prove yourself a tide to be reckoned with. And why not..? After all; new year, new you, right? Let's make this year our most memorable yet! For Delbrook Academy; your resident chatty dolphin, signing off..!"[/color] [table] [row] [sup][h3][b][color=2e2c2c] ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row] [cell][color=2e2c2c]______________________________________[/color] [right][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/31b8d944f9c9ef45794a60da7de489fd/b3e58093424086f2-28/s500x750/4eac0c2b7c94b3e2a7d9fe7d26f1fc1985218a87.gifv[/img][/right][/cell] [cell][indent][/indent] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210809/158640a3fbd0f956975e80f587345db7.png[/img] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210809/6b992c470da5eb011eee109d3f6ff901.png[/img] [color=C16610][sup][b]______________________________________________________________________________________[/b][/sup][/color] [color=C16610][sup][b][u]Location[/u]:[/b] Room 915[/sup] [sup][b][u]Interactions[/u]:[/b] All students in attendance[/sup][/color] [color=C16610][sup][b]______________________________________________________________________________________[/b][/sup][/color][/cell] [/row] [/table] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210809/c4541b88243bf485d2167d23eb34f286.png[/img] [color=C16610][sup][b]______________________________________________________________________________________[/b][/sup][/color] [sub][@Akayaofthemoon] [@alexfangtalon] [@Blizz] [@King Kindred] [@LostDestiny] [@Luft] [@MarshiestMallow] [@Metanoia] [@Pyxis] [@Rodiak] [@TGM] [@Timemaster] [@Vicier] [@Viktorseier][/sub][/center] With the five-minute bell ringing to let the students know it is time to head on into their homeroom class, Miss Goldman positioned herself just outside of her classroom door with a hand clasped over the other in front of her as she patiently waits for her students to arrive. Or as she would put it, jokingly, [i]her first victims of the day[/i]. A couple of students attempting to hurry past her into the room catching her eye as she quickly pulled them back out into the hallway to line up along the wall of lockers outside of her classroom. Goldman couldn't help the bright smile that painted her already vibrant features as she looked at the increasing line outside of her door, waving to a few familiar faces in passing. With a small smirk, Miss Goldman stepped back to open up space for the students to enter the room single-file, looking each and every student in the eyes while greeting them with different 'hello's and 'good morning's as they entered, waiting for them to answer her back before permitting them entry, chuckling at a few of the students who just looked on at her in confusion. Students who clearly did [I]not[/i] take Spanish for their Language Elective. [color=C16610]"There is a seating [url=https://i.ibb.co/wgPX3y8/Class-seating-chart.png]chart[/url] to follow on the desk at the front of the class. Have a look, find your seat, and sit yourselves down until further instructions, please,"[/color] she spoke to the class in English as they entered. Once every one of the students was inside, she glanced down the hallway to check for any potential stragglers before turning back to her classroom, leaving the door wide open in case any tardy students were brought in from the front office. Walking to her desk she quickly picked up a clipboard with a few sheets of paper on it, looking out at the class as she checked back and forth between the seating chart and the students of her homeroom class. [color=C16610]"Alright, looks like the majority of you are here and have found your seats. [i]Buenos dias clase,[/i]"[/color] slipping a single leg back, she lowered herself a tad. Her head bending forward just slightly, giving a respectful nod to the class before continuing. [color=C16610]"[i]Mi nombre es Sra. Goldman.[/i] You may call me by Ms. Goldman, or Ms. G. If there is any name you would like me to refer to you as, please come write it on the seating chart at the end of the class before you leave. I will leave it on my desk for you."[/color] Ms. Goldman paused a moment, looking out at the students before her. [color=C16610]"Looks like we have... almost all seniors in here, with.. a junior or two..? Hmm. And a few new faces! [i]Que asombroso![/i] Well.. my 11th graders and our newcomers, don't get too overwhelmed. I know, it's a dumb thing to ask of you. May already be overwhelmed. D.A. does things quite differently than most schools, and it's got enough students and staff to make its own city, really. I'm sure my lovely seniors here will be very welcoming to you and be willing to help you out in finding your classes. Isn't that right, guys?"[/color] Goldman eyes her class, most especially the students she knows from having in her classes in years prior. [color=C16610]"As for how I run my homeroom, you are allowed to do just about whatever you'd like. Catch up on that sleep you missed out on, do homework, be on your phone... you have freedom in here. The only thing I ask is that you don't bring food in here. Ants can become a serious problem in here. They're kind of hard to spot on this peppered tile flooring. That's one of the only things I ask you don't do is eat in here. Do that before you come in or after you leave my classroom,"[/color] Ms. Goldman smiles softly, continuing. [color=C16610]"Today is going to go by kind of quick, and there is much to do. Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to get to know a bit about you all today, we will have to save it for tomorrow."[/color] Glancing up at the clock hanging above the door frame, Goldman chewed on the inside of her lower lip thoughtfully. [color=C16610]"Mr. McGregor should be starting his morning announcement here, shortly. Until then, you are free to do as you please while I go over my lesson plans for the week."[/color] [table] [row] [sup][h3][b][color=2e2c2c] ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/color] [/b][/h3][/sup] [/row][row] [cell][color=2e2c2c]______________________________________[/color] [right][img]https://c.tenor.com/iJb0slU7hm8AAAAC/wolverine-hugh-jackman.gif[/img][/right][/cell] [cell][indent][/indent] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210809/1a1ca8a2bd6a739334b5314801d82de6.png[/img] [url=https://fontmeme.com/fonts/drugs-font/][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210809/f14c0e8e3e1faa9be314ebcdef2372ef.png[/img][/url] [color=99ACAA][sup][b]______________________________________________________________________________________[/b][/sup][/color] [color=99ACAA][sup][b][u]Location[/u]:[/b] Front Office[/sup] [sup][b][u]Interactions[/u]:[/b] The Entire School[/sup][/color] [color=99ACAA][sup][b]______________________________________________________________________________________[/b][/sup][/color][/cell] [/row] [/table] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210809/d3120d4f4a139b91d6ae7c7c01dd41bc.png[/img] [color=99ACAA][sup][b]____________________________________________________________________________________________________[/b][/sup][/color][/center] After a few minutes had gone by, static sounded from the speaker up in the corner of the room above the door as the mic flipped on, Miss Goldman quickly held up a [url=https://t3.ftcdn.net/jpg/02/10/89/40/360_F_210894067_yOcAwjhQVZ9BhW6gy2qVUMrrpXk775ov.jpg]hand sign[/url] with one hand, the other snapping a few times to grab students' attention before she brought her index finger to her lips. The room itself fell silent and a single voice - gentle and warm - can be heard filling the campus. Retired Marine, current Head Principle at Delbrook, Mr. Jack McGregor. [color=99ACAA]"Hello, students, staff.. new and old. Welcome. If you would please do me the honor, and stand from your seats, placing your hand over your heart and repeat the Pledge of Allegiance with me? It's fine if you don't want to say it, I understand your disconcerts, but it would please me greatly if those of you who don't want to say it, at least stand with the rest of us."[/color] He gave everyone a few moments before continuing to recite the Pledge, giving another short couple of moments to allow the students to get seated and quiet down in their classrooms before starting off with his first-day announcement. [color=99ACAA]"Today, students, you have made it to your first class. Homeroom. Turn to the people beside you and introduce yourself, if you haven't already done so because this class will be seeing you every day 5 times a week till the end of our school year. This will be the only class you will be seeing on a daily basis unless we have [b]GREEN[/b] Days, which are just what we call our minimum days where you will be attending all eight classes on your schedule. Green is a go!"[/color] McGregor chuckled lightly, clearing his throat. [color=99ACAA]"There will be an assembly, which each and every one of you will be attending before we can turn you over to the festivities that I'm sure you're all aware of that wait for you out on the turf. Before I go, I just want to give a quick appreciative shout-out to our school's teachers, cafeteria workers, the custodial staff, parent volunteers, and secretaries. Without you all, this wouldn't be possible. For you students, please enjoy your year here at Delbrook Academy High. I wish you all the best in this new year. For now, let's just worry about getting through the first day. Make the most of it. Thank you."[/color] The speaker cut out then and Ms. Goldman asked that her homeroom students get into a single-file line, once the class had done so, she led them to the auditorium where they would sit through an hour-long pep talk from Mr. McGregor and the school's Vice Principal, Ms. Bauer about how they imagine the school year to run. At the end of the assembly, the V.P. turned everyone back over to Ms. Goldman, who took the students out to the lacrosse field, taking a quick headcount before she set the class free to their own devices. The field was littered with booths upon booths, almost the equivalent to a carnival except all that's missing is the Ferris Wheel. All the rides are located out on the baseball field on the south side of the school.
