Park View Principal Dances with Joy

Park View High School is one of five high schools nationwide to be named a Breakthrough School by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Dr. Ginger Minshew, Park View's principal, found a unique way to announce the award to the staff and student body on Friday, November 20th.

On September 8th, the staff of The Oprah Show organized a 20,000-member flash mob in Chicago to celebrate the show's 24th season kickoff and as a surprise to the show's host, Oprah Winfrey. Not only did the crowd show up, they danced to a live performance of I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas.

Minshew had a tape of that performance shown on Park View's electronic white boards at the start of morning announcements and told the students to get out of their chairs and dance. Knowing there'd be some reluctance to joining the fun, Minshew replayed I Gotta Feeling with a tape of her dancing to the song.
