A small but vocal contingent of students in my study hall have been pestering me all year to do a back flip at school. At some point I promised them that I would do it before the end of the year.

Because today was the last day of classes (final exams next week), it was marked as "back flip day." Ever a man of my word, I brought my gym clothes to school today, and we all took a little field trip to the nearby grass.
Not quite as good as the time I did a back flip in a 5th grade classroom as a reward for all of them doing their math homework, but good enough.
