In the heart of Kansas, an elementary school is currently experiencing quite the baby boom! A staggering seven teachers on staff are pregnant simultaneously, making up half of the teaching team. What’s even more surprising? They all claim it wasn’t planned this way.
To ensure smooth transitions during maternity leaves, the school’s principal, Ashley Miller, has already arranged for permanent substitutes to step in. With a hint of humor, Principal Miller quipped to a local news station, “Now, what we need is a sponsorship from companies like Pampers or Huggies.”
The school officially announced this extraordinary wave of pregnancies via their Facebook page this week, sharing their joy with the community. “We are so excited to welcome these EIGHT little tiger cubs to our #265Family! (Yes, we counted correctly.),” the school proudly stated, noting that one mother is expecting twins.
The teachers themselves find the situation rather comical, considering the gradual increase in their numbers. Fourth-grade teacher Tara Johnson humorously commented, “To me, it just becomes comical because it was a lot when there were three of us, and then there were four of us, and then there were five of us, and now there are seven of us.”
With so many expectant mothers within the same school, playful jokes abound, including the well-worn adage, “Don’t drink the water.” Third-grade teacher Tiffany Schmidt, who is also expecting, amusingly added, “When I actually went in to tell her, I’m like, ‘By the way, I drank the water.'”
