Here is Whitmer High School's Teacher Flash Mob at the 2017 Homecoming Pep Assembly. Organized by Katie Peters Filmed at Whitmer High School, Toledo, Ohio
Big props to all those teachers, administrators, and police officers who performed. I guarantee you those kids feel closer to those teachers than they ever had before. Big thumbs up!
and I just bet there was some "Karen" who called the school Superintendent after seeing this saying how inappropriate it was for teachers to be dancing like this :)
Having been a high school teacher in Southern Ontario for 35 years, I can’t say enough about being involved in these sorts of performances for the students. They really appreciate the fact that we are willing to go out and perform in, for them, off the wall sorts of ways. We become more human and approachable. Kudos to these teachers!
I did performances like this with teachers & staff for Homecoming at Norte Vista HS in Riverside. We had a blast at rehearsals and the performance! The kids loved it & if you messed up, so what? The kids loved it even more!!!
Wish my late wife, a teacher all her life, could have seen this. She would have done anything to see such. a display of teacher fun and joy. She advocated for that all her teaching career!!!
I can't say enough of how impressed I was in seeing these teachers preform for these students! How lucky they are to have such good teachers willing to do this.
So fun!! I used to be a teacher, and I know that the students must have LOVED that their teachers did this. A lot of time was put into making this happen! I'd want to go to that school, haha.
Dance girl Friends are going through a ui of a while 😞 for your help in a meeting 🤝 the kids have been a good 💯 day for me when I'm done 👍 in my ryioreruu so I'm sure I
Not only did the teachers do this because they love their students, they had to have rehearse for hours of THEIR OWN TIME. Way to go teachers and way to go students for appreciating them.
I watched this grinning from ear to year. Then I had tears streaming down my cheeks. Not out of happiness, but out of longing to create a society where we can have our students together without fear of being emotionally hurt, getting sick, or being shot. This is what going to school should be like. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
I went to 4 different high schools in 4 different cities, 2 different states in the late '60s/early 70's. Whitmer was, by far, my best experience and provided me the tools and guidance to develop confidence, self-esteem, and a drive to push myself to be better. I am so happy to see this video, and to know that the teachers and administrators in that institution are still dedicated to students.
As a retired school teacher of 30 years, I’ve never been so proud to be an educator! Abundant blessings to you all, your students are blessed to have you all in their lives and by the looks of it you are blessed with wonderfully appreciative students as well.💕🙏🏻☮️
I couldn't stop smiling from the very beginning and my smile only got bigger when more teachers kept joining in! In the last 2 1/2 years we've endured (pandemic, lockdowns, zoom everything and government in chaos) we need more Uptown Funk. What wonderful school faculty!
OMG, these students are so lucky! This must have been the best day EVER for them, to see their teachers do this. So much fun! Thanks for uploading this--a few minutes of pure joy.
Omg! I love this! Cried a little, I would’ve loved to experience this and hope for my children to experience a faculty this dedicated. I loved it! ❤️❤️❤️
@@tinabelcher8116 Me too !!!! I taught high school for 30 years and did something similar to this with a buddy of mine when we did The Blues Brothers. Students should know that teachers are human who like the same things as students ... with the same energy in expressing those likes. More people need to know that teachers can "let go" on occasion. ;-)
Yes I yes I was just thinking the same thing every time I see it I got to watch it every time it pops up on RU-vid I got to watch it again you like some of them teachers really get in it now when I was in high school I would love our teachers that did that especially right before football game
I'm so proud to say that Whitmer is my alma mater. Would've loved to have seen my teachers do something like this back in the day. Way to go Whitmer faculty! Pure awesomeness!
the guy that did the worm, the teacher behind him, the guy with the tie dye shirt and the girl in the front with the blonde ponytail is everybody’s favorite teachers. you can tell
Kudos to all those involved to make this happen. Having done something like this for a talent show in an elementary building required hours of after school practice and that was only a two minutes song. Great job!
All of that PLUS the principal and assigned police officer! And they all knew the drill! God bless them they really worked on that and those kids were thrilled. Way to go Whitmer High School!
@@muffdiver7670 And yours is only half full. As a retired Police Officer, I was always taught, take care of your equipment, she could easily damage the mic, not know it and some day when calling for help, nobody would hear her. I have no problem with her dancing, but secure your equipment first.
@@bradpolice6203 WAS THAT THE SEXY CHOCOLATE MAN IN BLUE SUIT IF SO DAM YES HE WAS AWESOME KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING '") EVERY1 IN THIS VIDEO WAS JUST GREAT :)
This was awesome! My son was watching this with me and the moment it was over- he said he wanted to go to that school! Great job to all those that were involved! I’m sure the students loved it!
This is the type of things we did when I was in high school in the late 60 and early 70's. What a lucky group of kids to have their teacher that are willing to show off in front of them. this is a memory they will always have
I don't know why this made me cry. I guess with all of the divide in the Schools and the Country it warms my heart just to see everyone having fun together without all of the nonsense. Great job everyone!
this video is one of my regulars . I can tell there is a lot of love there . I've seen other videosfrom Whitmer a very special school and people indeed.wish my HS had had this vibe.
@@JohnRorabaugh I went a high school where it appeared difficult the teachers would even smile. Never laugh. This is priceless. Teachers worked really hard to put this together. I really admire what practice they went through for their students. Blonde with the ponytail really rocked.
yeah - my junior year a guy streaked the assembly and got hung up trying to get out of the gym - someone had narc'd on him and a coach had locked the escape door he was counting on... ;) 73 or 74 ...
Love it! You can see the connection your students have with you, teachers! As a former high school teacher, those special times were what teaching was all about!
Just came across this and it was nothing less than Fantastic!! The teachers were obviously having so much fun doing this for the students, and I would bet those students will talk about this for YEARS to come and tell their kids about their awesome teachers! Great job!!!
There's something to be said for knowing how to throw out norms and just have some damn fun once in a while. The teachers, staff, whomever else - they nailed it.
I've graduated from HS 45 years now and this video made me so proud of those teachers, administrators and security personnel who bonded with those students that day. This song has brought more people together over the years- thanks Bruno! This is absolutely awesome and I wish I could be a part of it!
What a faculty! This took a HUGE amount of work and courage and what a boost for morale! Kudos to the teachers, staff, officers and everyone else who participated! Incredible!!
We need more of this, more music, more dance,more love after Corona passes.No more fights, no more riots, no more hatred,no more discrimination,no more prejudices , no more put downs, no more rudeness, no more criticism......💖💖💖💖💖
I loved this so much I've watched it several times. It took guts for the teachers to put themselves out there and the kids showing their enthusiasm and appreciation was very uplifting. Heck, even the administrators joined in. Now that's school spirit. That's a school assembly worth having!
Vicki Nesom lol our middle school is having a rally for elections and my leadership class prepares for it all and the teacher wants us to do a flash mob 😂
Every school year all the staff to perform a skit to introduce our Reading contests, after the skit the kids were smiling at us and we were smiling back great start. We also had 30 mins before class started in the gym with music to dance stretching out the wiggles out singing with actions. Everyone had a blast and off to our classrooms, this program put smiles on their faces and that’s how we started our days. Hats off to are wonderful PE instructor and her helpers who would stand by the K-3 students Our goal was to be fit, wake up our brain and have fun the instructor kept the fun rolling along we were one big family, the 70-90s were the best years to teach.
That was pure greatness!! You guys are some of the coolest teachers! 😁 you have just given the studients something to tell their grandchildren about. That will go down in history! Great job!
I agree with this. Teachers are human beings just like the rest of the population. They can dance, sing, be silly like we can. I admire this group of teachers. Wish my high school teachers would even smile, much less laugh. Times have changed over the past 40 years, though.
This is why we need to protect our public schools and teachers across America. They show up an go beyond both time wise and financially EVERY day. And, they truly do it because they care.
They all need raises - which may happen now that Biden will be President. Whitmer is in Toledo, OH, a blue area. My guess is many of these teachers voted for Biden.
That's what I call absolute joy !!!!! God bless, in these times we certainly need more of that. Thank you for putting a smile on my face, so rare these days.🙏🇨🇦🙏
This blonde chic with the pony tail should have been in the Bruno Mars Uptown Funk video! She knows how to tear the dance floor up! These teachers are awesome! They bring such energy and inspiration to the dance floor! Rock On!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎
Omg! I loved it! Teachers in all areas around the world need to do things like this. It will bring you closer to your students! You teachers are sooo awesome! Stay blessed and keep blessing others! Thank you for this video!!❤😊🤗
My favorite teacher in high school was my choir teacher. He made every day in his class fun. I will never forget him. These teachers really get that. God bless them.
I absolutely love this. It was a great gift for the kids to have. Gives them a whole new perspective of their teachers. Its just plain wonderfully cool.
This video is EPIC !!! These kids (and us viewers) needed this kind of joy ! I've always loved a good flash mob but this one just takes the cake 100% !!!♡♡♡
It’s good for young people to see that their elders, teachers, parents, family, bosses, etc....can have a good time. Reminds them that they were young once too and can relate to them. Perhaps even give advice that can help.
This was heartwarming AF! I had a smile on my face the whole time! As a woman in her early 40s who loves young people, this really made my day! Kudos to these amazing teachers who are willing to go the extra mile! #respect
I wish my teachers, admins, etc. had been that cool when I was still in school! We Did have several cool teachers…but hey we were happy to have them! Thank you Mr Coates! You were Awesome!
OMG, thank you! I watched this from my desk at work on a Saturday afternoon and just broke down crying like a baby! I could not figure out why! It's nice to know that someone else had that reaction!
What an A-MAZE-ING group of staff at that school!!! I would have absolutely loved to see my teachers and other staff members at my school do something like this when I was in school. Hats off to all of you! 👏👏👏👏👏
BRAVO TO ALL THE STAFF, and others who performed for their students! They were so smooth bringing in the certain sections at certain points. Our kids need to be motivated and I’m sure that, that performance did just that! I LOVED IT AND THEY ALL LOVED IT…!Thank you everyone who performed. You guys ROCK!!!
Just saw this. Absolutely brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed this and the kids went mental for it. Amazing teachers. Loved the teacher who went caterpillar.
