Montgomery Catholic Students Answer, “What does the principal do all day?”

During creative writing in Mrs. Burden’s second grade class at Montgomery Catholic’s Holy Spirit Campus, students expressed their ideas with illustrations answering the question “What does the principal do all day?”  They were quite creative with their ideas of what Mr. Monson’s daily activities! Some of the tasks they believe he does each day are reading emails, signing papers, visiting classrooms, talking on the phone to parents, going to meetings, joining the students at church, giving prizes when students fill their positive behavior punch cards, playing with the students at recess, waving to parents at dismissal and several commented on his stylish and colorful attire, especially his bow ties! All of the stories were delightful!
