April Fools? More Like April Grannies! 🤣👵🏼🎭 Our Junior High teachers went all out for April Fools’ Day, showing up as the funniest, sassiest, slowest-moving grannies you’ve ever seen! Canes, curlers, shawls, and a whole lot of “Back in my day…” moments had everyone laughing all day long. And they didn’t just dress the part—they lived it! Complaining about "kids these days," forgetting where they were, and acting like they needed a nap every five minutes… it was too real! Safe to say, they fooled us all—and had a blast doing it! 👵🏼💙💛 #AprilFools #AgingGracefully #BestTeachersEver
