I agree @MrsPhilpotSCSF ! . @principalmesser is a good egg, & we are so blessed to have his leadership at MI! Our students learned so much in THAT #MasonMoment ! 💚💚.
No words. I am so thankful to work alongside a principal who values EVERY child. He created an opportunity for my Ss to participate & included them during the assembly. Also setting them up for success by asking for silent cheers from the audience. PRICELESS! 😊💚@principalmesser
