As a principal, I look forward to going to school EVERY dayโบ๏ธ...but lately..Wednesdays are my favorite days of all!! โฅ๏ธ๐๐๐
Wednesdays have become โWhere in the world is Ms. Johnsonโ traveling office days..where I set up post in an unannounced โcan you find me?โ location in the hallways at my school! ๐โ๏ธ๐๐I love being able to do so , as I get to be โout there,โ in the mix with students and teachers (in their natural habitat! ๐) and get to engage with them, in a much-needed high visibility-needed pandemic year!!
Special thanks to Ryan Frederick (& Frederick, Sommers & Western Sign Company) for the fun sign and to James Truel and Kade Johnson for making my laptop stand!!โฅ๏ธ๐๐
