When a school is celebrating a sports championship, they often go big: rallies, trophies, and loud cheers all around.

At some point, most physical education teachers have had to give up the gym for a concert, rehearsal, assembly, construction, or other school/community activity. At times it was a challenge, but the experience proved to be great for my mental health, creativity, and growth as a teacher. It’s not unusual.
