Thank you, school principals!
October is National School Principal Appreciation Month – the perfect time to acknowledge the support our building leaders give all of our students and staff every day. Reach out to your school’s principal this month with kind words, a note of appreciation or small gesture of gratitude.
Principals, you rock. Thank you for everything you do!
