National Principal's Month
|
|
October is National Principal's Month. This month we honor our Kings Principals for their significant impact on the success and well-being of our students. We will be celebrating our District Principals throughout the month.
We asked Columbia Intermediate School Principal,
Shelley Detmer-Bogaert
what she loves about being a principal. She said,"What I love about being a principal is hard to sum up as one big thing. It's more about all of the little things like: 'bustin' a move' with students on Dance Party Wednesday, joining students for lunch with principal's reward activity, reading great books with teachers for our staff book clubs, sharing a teachable moment when a student has an 'oops', and working with teachers and parents to help a struggling learner find his/her success. The best thing about being a principal is a lot of little things that add up to one Big Amazing!!"
