Last Friday was School Principal Day, and it turned into something truly special! One by one, every class surprised Mrs. Greier by bringing a flower just for her. By the end of the day, she wasn’t just holding a few blooms—she had an entire, colorful bouquet filled with appreciation, kindness, and smiles from the whole school. It was a bright, joyful celebration she’ll never forget!
