UT principal plays ‘Elf on the Shelf’ at school — as only 16% of students meet benchmarks

A Utah principal has concocted an ingenious way to avoid actual work during the Christmas season, though it requires him to make an absolute fool of himself.
Rob McDaniel told KSTU the Parent Teacher Association of Magna donated an elf costume to the school, so he decided to put it into action by transforming himself into a real-life, human Elf on the Shelf. Pictures provided by the school district show McDaniel, an adult man, perched on a shelf in the school’s administrative office in the outlandish costume.
The get-up featured a tall red and green swirled cap with artificial elf ears, a green jumper with short sleeves and legs lined in red, along with a collar decked out with bells. The principal sat with a smirk on his face as others in the office appeared hard at work, his knee-high nutcracker socks and silver sneakers a dangling distraction.
