2nd Grader Finley was our Principal for the Day
on Tuesday!
"When I was Principal for the Day, I had so much fun. I started the morning off by going to our school Mass with Mr. Garvey. Then we did morning announcements. Right after that we visited classrooms to see what students were doing and learning. I also got to go to the Parish Leadership Team Meeting. One of my favorite parts of the day was getting to read a book to a 4K class. Next, we ordered pizza from Falbo's and had lunch with some friends. Then I had lunch recess and did jump rope. After that I visited classrooms again for a bit. Then I had a Zoom meeting with my parents to say hi. Next, I got to call two friends to come down to the principal's office. I think they were a little nervous at first, but then I surprised them with a treat. That was fun! Another really fun thing I did was a fire drill. I even got to pull the alarm! And last but not least, I got to announce a free dress down day and do our end of day prayer. I had a blast being Principal for the Day!" - Finley

Finley did a wonderful job of leading our school. Thank you to Finley and her family for purchasing this opportunity at this year's Gala!
