Principal for the Day Carolina Toro had an enjoyable day during her tenure in office last Monday, May 20. Not only did she declare it a school-wide dress down day, she started the day off with a Fun Fact and Joke of the Day for announcements (just like the old Principal does). After observing a number of classes, including Eighth graders dissecting sharks, and supervising several activities, Principal Toro and her Assistant Principals, Mariana Callejas, Jacqueline Greene, and Lily Stegemann, enjoyed a leisurely lunch and attended a movie together. Carolina's day was topped off with ice-cream and a picture in the big chair as her day of ruling the school came to an end!
