TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: This school won the drop off line game with parents

It’s back to school for teachers and kids which also means back to drop off/pick up lines for parents. Which can be a drag, take forever, and get REALLY boring at times. Which is why this one school in Ohio decided to make the scenery a little more entertaining with fun signs from the 80s and 90s.

A few of them were things like:

“Can’t park here!” with a photo of MC Hammer. Clearly a play on his hit “U Can’t Touch This”.

“Tell the kids Bye, Bye, Bye” with NSYNC on the sign.

“Don’t Go Blocking Dropoff lines” a clever take on TLC’s waterfalls.

Smart idea! See the rest of the signs and the full story HERE
