屋顶上的精灵迎接北贝弗利小学的学生

贝弗利——周一早上抵达北贝弗利小学的学生们受到了校长艾米·布兰查德的迎接，但他们的迎接角度与他们通常习惯的完全不同。

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.

周一早上，北贝弗利小学的学生们受到了校长艾米·布兰查德（Amy Blanchard）的欢迎，但他们的角度与他们通常习惯的完全不同。

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

布兰查德装扮成真人大小的精灵，在屋顶上传播节日的欢乐气氛。

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

整个早上到达学校的学生都抬头向布兰查德挥手，布兰查德也热情地向他挥手。

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

“这真的很有趣，”布兰查德说。 “孩子们挥手、按喇叭、大喊‘嗨，布兰查德夫人！’”

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.

布兰查德说，她去年萌生了这个想法，当时她看到另一个州的一位校长在学校屋顶上打扮成小精灵的照片。

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

“我认为这是一个好主意，我想在这里做类似的事情，”她说。

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.

布兰查德说，她在贝弗利消防员的帮助下把她带到了屋顶上，她在那里呆了大约一个半小时。

"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."

“消防员很棒，”她说。 “他们帮助我爬上屋顶，并一直陪着我，以确保我的安全。”

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

布兰查德说，她希望学生们享受这个惊喜，这有助于让他们融入节日气氛。

"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.

“我认为在假期期间享受乐趣和节日很重要，我很高兴能为学生做这样的事情，”她说。
