屋頂上的精靈迎接北貝弗利小學的學生

貝弗利——週一早上抵達北貝弗利小學的學生們受到了校長艾米·布蘭查德的迎接，但他們的迎接角度與他們通常習慣的完全不同。

North Beverly Elementary School students were greeted Monday morning by their principal Amy Blanchard — but from a very different vantage point than they are normally accustomed.

週一早上，北貝弗利小學的學生們受到了校長艾米·布蘭查德（Amy Blanchard）的歡迎，但他們的角度與他們通常習慣的完全不同。

Blanchard donned the guise of a life-sized elf, spreading some holiday cheer from the rooftop.

布蘭查德裝扮成真人大小的精靈，在屋頂上傳播節慶的歡樂氣氛。

Students arriving at the school throughout the morning looked up and waved at Blanchard, who waved back enthusiastically.

整個早上到達學校的學生都抬頭向布蘭查德揮手，布蘭查德也熱情地向他揮手。

"It was really fun," Blanchard said. "The kids were waving and honking and yelling 'Hi, Mrs. Blanchard!'"

「這真的很有趣，」布蘭查德說。 “孩子們揮手、按喇叭、大喊‘嗨，布蘭查德夫人！’”

Blanchard said she came up with the idea last year, when she saw a photo of a principal in another state dressing up as an elf on the school's roof.

布蘭查德說，她去年萌生了這個想法，當時她看到另一個州的一位校長在學校屋頂上打扮成小精靈的照片。

"I thought it was a great idea, and I wanted to do something like that here," she said.

“我認為這是一個好主意，我想在這裡做類似的事情，”她說。

Blanchard said she enlisted the help of Beverly firefighters to get her on the roof, and that she was up there for about an hour and a half.

布蘭查德說，她在貝弗利消防員的幫助下把她帶到了屋頂上，她在那裡待了大約一個半小時​​。

"The firefighters were great," she said. "They helped me get up on the roof, and they stayed with me the whole time to make sure I was safe."

“消防員很棒，”她說。 “他們幫助我爬上屋頂，並一直陪著我，以確保我的安全。”

Blanchard said she hopes the students enjoyed the surprise, and that it helped to get them into the holiday spirit.

布蘭查德說，她希望學生們享受這個驚喜，這有助於讓他們融入節日氣氛。

"I think it's important to have fun and be festive during the holidays, and I'm glad I was able to do something like this for the students," she said.

「我認為在假期期間享受樂趣和節日很重要，我很高興能為學生做這樣的事情，」她說。
