Ms. June and Mr. Vincent Call the Shots for a Day!

What? Terraset has two new Principals?

 

Don't worry... it was just for a day and Ms. Trout was close by all the time. You see, the Lawrence family placed the highest bid for the "Principal for the Day" item at Terraset's recent Silent Auction and as a result "Ms. June" and "Mr. Vincent" called the shots for the day. "They worked very hard during their temporary assignment" Ms Trout, the "real" Terraset Principal, told us.

June, a sixth grader, and Vincent, in first grade, observed each of their classrooms. They also observed and helped in a fourth grade classroom. They had a lunch bunch with three third grade boys (which is a well regarded tradition for Terraset Principals). In addition, June and Vincent assisted Mr. Skerker, Assistant Principal, in getting SOL Snack Packs ready for our hard working teachers and Instructional Assistants who started administering SOLs this week.

There are quite a few special events scheduled over the next couple of weeks for those who successfully bid for items in the Auction. Two fourth graders are joining Mrs. Nieto and Ms. Culin for a date with the teachers' puppies. A large bunch of second graders will be playing kickball against the second grade teaching team next Monday (that could be fun to watch!). A group of four students enjoyed semi-private basketball lessons from Mr. Millar, and numerous children will be going out to dinner, the movies, and a variety of other activities thanks to the generous donations of Terraset Staff, many of whom extended the number of winners for their items to help us maximize our fundraising.

"The Silent Auction far exceeded our fundraising expectations, with over $1,800 pledged in bids!" Brain Davidson, the Silent Auction Chair, told us. What was the most popular single item this year? "Chillaxin' in LC2" brought the PTA $320!

As for our Principals for the Day... June and Vincent were introduced on WTER and everywhere they went, they were greeted by their peers with comments like, "Hi Boss!" and "Good morning, Mr. Vincent" and "Hello, Ms. June."

"We had a wonderful day!!" declared Ms Trout. We are still trying to decide who had the most fun.
