We have an AP (assistant principal) at our school who does wonders for our students and our staff. She is simply amazing! She is a great leader, she leads by example and professionalism, she is fair and equal, and she does so much to promote a positive environment at our school. Not only for students, but also for teachers.

Throughout the year, she has encouraged us teachers to write lots and lots of positive referrals for our students. It's such a cool idea because the students get called out of class to go to her office. At first the kids think they are in big trouble, but when they get to her office she greets them with that awesome big smile of hers with her hazel eyes twinkling with sweet mischief. She proudly tells them that they have received a positive referral from a teacher. She literally reads them what the teacher wrote about them, they get to choose a candy bar from her stash of goodies, and then the best part!!! She calls home and brags to their parents about their positive referral.
Isn't that just awesome! And that's just one of the countless things she does throughout the school year to inspire a culture of excellence and positivity within these walls.
And guess what? She did the same thing for teachers this week!!!!
She encouraged all of us to write a positive referral for another teacher. And today, she started calling into our classrooms for us to come to her office. I got my call this morning, and even though I expected it, it didn't lessen the excitement and thrill of getting that positive referral. I picked out my treat...peanut M&M's of course! And I also stopped by and thanked the teacher who wrote the referral for me.
And the best part? She's calling The Hubs to brag about me! I can't wait to hear how the call goes!
