The Sound of Silent Cheering
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It’s not every day a grown-up gets a timeout. But on Saturday, Hayden Kinder Center teacher Cherish Hansen of Athol found herself in the penalty box during a basketball game at Lakeland Junior High School. “My daughter made a free-throw, I had to shout,” she said.
Hansen and a handful of other parents or grandparents were penalized for being vocal during what members of the Rathdrum Parks and Recreation Department designated as “Silent Cheer Day.”
