Big thanks to Miss M for stepping in and helping run the show today! After winning the chance to be Principal for the Day during the Tonganoxie Education Foundation’s Give Day, she took her duties very seriously - checking classrooms, helping students, and making sure the other principals stayed out of trouble. We’re lucky to have such awesome students willing to jump in, lead, and make TES even more fun. Thanks for a great day, Miss M!
