❤️Happy Principal’s Month to our amazing principal, Ashley Nichols-Lee! 🐎 We are so thankful for your kind heart, patience, and sweet spirit. Howard is lucky to have you! We love and appreciate you! 🫶🏼✨

🍎 October is National Principals Month! 💚

Our principals lead with heart, navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and make countless decisions that help our schools thrive.

Principals wear many hats! From keeping students safe and supporting teachers to connecting with families and ensuring daily operations run smoothly, their leadership makes a difference every day.

This month, we celebrate our incredible Medford School District principals and thank them for their dedication and unwavering commitment to our MSD community!

💚 Help us celebrate a principal in the comments!

🐟🌿 Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🌿🐟

Our 5th grade students had a wonderful day at the TouVelle Recreation Site for their Salmon Watch field trip! 💧🐟 They got to explore nature, learn about salmon and their life cycle, and discover the importance of protecting our local rivers and ecosystems. 🌎💚

We love giving our students opportunities to learn, explore, and make lasting memories outside the classroom! A big thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible! ❤️
