January 14th. We visited several classes together
and our two new principals took notes to share
when we returned to the office. Our next
Principals of the Morning will be Sai Kilambi,
Rachel McKean and Leah Bordenca, this will
occur on Wednesday January 28th. I am looking
forward to my morning with them.
