Everyday is an Adventure!

What I love about being a principal is that every day is an adventure. Every day brings new experiences - new things to try and new things to learn. Last week, Abby and I got to have our first TV debut! Abby was the guest reporter on a local news station and I was so honored to be one of the people she interviewed. You can view the broadcast by clicking here. I'm so proud of Abby for pursuing her interest in journalism and trying this new experience. She did GREAT!




This awesome group of fifth-grade students had been helping me to update our Dolphin Do's to incorporate the middle school Cardinal Way.  It's been fun talking with them about leadership and what it means to be a leader, too. We played a "caterpillar" game with hula hoops in the courtyard and used this as an opportunity to talk about leading from the front, middle and back.  

Of course, it was fun to take a break and just play with the hula hoops, too!

Our student Environmental Commission invited me to their meeting this week. They have been researching and are interested in reducing or eliminating our school's use of styrofoam trays during lunch. I was so impressed with their presentation! They have been researching the costs of re-usable and biodegradable trays. I'm excited about the next steps we can take together to reduce waste during the lunch hour!

These students caught my attention during recess. They were so proud of their creative constructions! 


Our LMC Teaching Assistant, Mrs. Kenney, is about to embark on a new adventure in her life - retirement! Mrs. Kenney has been a dedicated and outstanding teaching assistant. We are going to miss her, but we are happy that she will get to enjoy being a new grandmother and many other things in her retirement. We wish her all the best!
