Principal for the Day Book Challenge Winner
Beginning on 2/25, students were challenged to read The Giver. The winner of the challenge was Gavyn W. He read the book, took the AR test and completed a book interview with Mrs. Etzel.
On 3/21/17, Gavyn was principal for a day! He did a fabulous job and said, "If I was in education I would rather be a teacher." Hmmmmmm????? Regardless, he did an excellent job and Mrs. Etzel expects great things from him in all his future endeavors.
