Principal for a Day!

Does your child like to hang out in the principal's office amidst the hustle and bustle, dream of leading a teacher's meeting, or long to run the school? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, your child will love being Principal for the Day! On this very special day, Dr. Sherry will cede her post to one lucky student. Under her supervision, this student will lead morning circle, pick the song the students sing, and make birthday announcements. The winning student will also have a hall pass for the day. And lunch is even better: the lucky winner can host a "conference" in the principal's office with 3 friends while enjoying some of Dr. Sherry's favorite lunch items. Getting called to the office has never been so much fun! The Principal for the Day will even get to experience every recess period that the school offers. And maybe, just maybe, an announcement or two over the loudspeaker will be necessary. This will be a day your child won't soon forget!
