PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Dear Monta Loma Families,

This week our Principal’s Message is by Joni and Leo, who were Principals for the Day last Friday. They were very thorough monitoring instruction, maintaining safety, and having fun!


Being Principal for the day was awesome and fun. It was also very busy. We got to do a lot of interesting tasks.


The best part of the day was walking through classrooms and taking notes. The teachers are very nice to the kids. The kids were paying attention and working hard. We really liked seeing the teachers and students learning math, writing, and science.


It was fun walking around the school. Mr. Topete and Mr. Lopez make sure everything is safe and clean. We fixed a construction barrier to make sure no-one fell in and we fixed the “Buses Only” sign to keep traffic flowing.  


We wrote thank you notes to some of our wonderful staff members to let them know we appreciate them. Ms. Aguirre Cortez, Ms. Bornstein, Ms. Tellez, and Mr. Stribling make sure all the important stuff in the office is complete. The yard supervisors keep track of students.


We conducted a fire drill. Every class evacuated in 5 minutes and 27 seconds. We watched to make sure doors were closed and all students were quiet.


We met with a person who will bring volunteers to re-paint the black top. We helped her count paint cans and decide what we need to buy to make the black top nicer. They will be coming next Thursday after school.


Principals get make to decisions. Principal Leo put a discount on the student store for two leopard spots off. If something was 5 leopard spots, it could be for 3 today. Principal Joni gave everyone 10 extra minutes of playtime at lunch. We both decided to have no homework next week.


We’ve learned that being principal is a lot of work, and it’s worth it!


Principal Joni and Principal Leo
