I saw this in my Google alerts and nearly died.An elementary school teacher in Michigan was featured on the community news website for her "Movie Star Day" - a day for the students to dress up as their favorite celebrities. It's one of several ways the teacher rewards the kids for their hard work.
And whom should be "present" in the classroom that day but Jon Bon Jovi - 3 of them, in fact!
Good behavior turns first-graders into stars
When LuAnn Englehart took attendance Thursday, she found the likes of NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, rock stars Jon Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, adventurer Indiana Jones, Miley Cyrus and her alter ego, Hannah Montana, several Disney princesses and even a fairy godmother sitting in her students' desks.
Jeremy Fuchs was one of three Bon Jovis in the classroom. Almost seven years old, he had the tattoos, the rolled-up shirt sleeves and sunglasses, not to mention a (Guitar Hero) guitar to play the part.
“Bon Jovi's cool and I like him a lot,” said Jeremy.
Englehart has been doing Movie Star Day with he students for seven years. She uses a marble jar to determine rewards for good behavior and Movie Star Day is one them. The students also have earned a Movie Day, a pajama party and Hawaiian party. Next week they'll be going to the Detroit Zoo.
The tattoo may not be anything like Jon's real one, but OMG how friggin adorable. And there was more than one kid (or mom) who wanted to be JBJ?? Something tells me Guitar Hero has quite a lot to do with that, but hey, I'm not complaining. Something's gotta get the band into the next generation. ;)
