⭐ National Principals Month: Week 5!

This week’s fun fact about Mr. Treadway: Even though Halloween is right around the corner, Christmas is his favorite holiday! 🎃🎄

Here’s what our 4th and 5th grade students had to say about him:
❤️ “He is really nice to everyone.”
❤️ “He is friendly and he listens to us.”
❤️ “He helps people when they need help.”
❤️ “He is calm and funny at the same time.”
❤️ “He’s friendly and he will understand what you are trying to say.”
❤️ “He doesn’t exclude anyone.”
❤️ “He keeps everyone safe.”

And just when he thought it was a normal Thursday…SURPRISE! We celebrated Mr. Treadway with a Dress Like Mr. Treadway Day! We think he was pretty impressed with his look-alikes!

School is about so much more than just grades and assignments—it’s where lifelong friendships are built, trust is formed, and students find their sense of belonging. Chronic absenteeism can pull students away from that community, but showing up every day keeps them connected.

Be here. Be engaged. Be successful.
