I get to meet the coolest kids at school We finished up our fall fundraiser a few weeks back, and the top seller this year got to be"Principal for the Day". A sweet, quiet 6th grade girl received this honor, and today was her day!
She came to the office this morning and read the announcements with great confidence. She was about to go turn in the day's homework to her classes when the principal introduced her to our assistant principal, who said, "OK, I guess you're my boss for the day. Is there anything you'd like me to do?" No hesitation, little Miss Principal handed over her homework and said, "Yes, would you please deliver this to my teachers!" The A.P. was a bit taken aback, but she followed orders! The young lady also directed the principal to go to her science class and take notes for her!
I gave her a photo id badge with her title to wear on a lanyard for the day, and also gave her some business cards with her name, title and picture. I heard she gave a few to her friends while she was supervising in the cafeteria at lunch.
I look forward to getting to know this student better in the next few years and watching her leadership skills develop! I have no doubt she can do whatever she wants when she grows up! The other fun thing is, I got to meet her mom and found out that they live nearby and I walk by and admire their house all the time.
I love my job. If I could get rid of all the paperwork and just visit with all the awesome people around me, it would be just perfect!
