📋 Site Inspection: They completed a full facilities walk-through to keep our school sparkling.
🍕 Executive Lunch: They enjoyed a well-earned pizza party in the Principal's office with a friend.
🥗 Cafeteria Duty: They kept the peace (and the energy high!) during the lunch rush.
🏀 Gym Class Heroes: They headed to the mats to assist Mr. Holl and Ms. Riedel with PE.
Huge thanks to our guest administrators for their hard work and leadership. The future looks bright with these two in charge! 🌟#BuildingBrightFuturesAtBrookside
