Hailey Blogs about being Principal

Have you ever been allowed to be in charge of the whole school? One boring school day, the loud intercom called me to the office. I wondered if I had done something wrong? I wracked my brain for anything that I would have done wrong – Nothing! Two minutes later, I touched down at the office. All of a sudden, Mrs. McDaniel said that I had won a special contest and I was now the principal of Sneads Elementary School for the day.

When the office staff all congratulated me, I replied thank you! I hugged Mrs. McDaniel and everyone there. Instantly, I told the old principal to go home and take a much needed break. I thought of what I could do first. I promised our fearless leader that I would take care of the school like a mama watches over her child.

Suddenly, I approached a room and told the teacher to also go home to their habitat to chill. I was the principal now. I equally did the same to each classroom. I joyfully explained to the kids that it was an order to party and have fun. I also said to have lots of recess! In the end we ordered three boxes of cheese pizza. We also laid our eyes on some movies like “Bee Movie”, “Monsters, Inc.” and for the girls “Sarah Plain and Tall". We socialized with friends and boogied to the jazz music. We all had a great time.

After a while, the kids got wild – so wild I could not control it. I called Mrs. McDaniel and begged for mercy and pleaded her to come back. I told her that kids were screaming and fighting and throwing food. All I could do was try to stop it and wait for Mrs. McDaniel. The kids got even worse. They went pure nuts. It was like an amusement park. Peeps were even destroying the playground.

When Mrs. McDaniel got to the school grounds, she said to all the kids that she was back in charge. I learned my lesson and to not party to much ever in a lifetime. I begged her not to call my parents. She said being principal is a big responsibility, and it is a lesson that I will never forget.
