Principal for the Day~Cort Smith
Friday, January 17
Dear Parents,
I’m Principal Cort Smith. I had a super fun day. First I went on the morning news show and we greeted all of the classes. Then we got our keys and our badges. We inspected the hallways to prepare for the events next week. I took notes on what needed to be fixed. We were in a meeting to help plan for the 25th anniversary celebration. We have taken many pictures for the yearbook and social media. We have made announcements and calls on the walkie talkies. I helped deliver items from the lost and found. I monitored recess duty and helped scan textbooks. Finally, I had Chick-Fil-A for lunch. This has been the best experience ever! I want to do it again.
Again this is Principal Cort Smith, signing off!
