Principal for a Day
On November
29th, Lily Johansson (grade 2) and Justin White (grade 4) were
Principals for the Day. The two students worked in the office and made
administrative decisions as part of their day (extended recess by 5 minutes).
Our two principals visited the Superintendent of the Halifax Regional School
Board at the Board Office where they received a nice package from the HRSB.
Following the meeting the students went out to lunch with Mr. Mason and then
returned to school for the remainder of the school day.

Lily and Justin with Superintendent Carole
Olsen.
