Precia Blogs about being Principal

Crazy Friday

Can you imagine how just hearing your name announced over the intercom could become the craziest day of your life? One normal Friday, as I tried to unpack, the morning announcements flooded the room. Mrs.Gilley, our school secretary, said that they had important news. The FCAT Writing scores for fourth grade had come in and only a few students made a perfect six. To my surprise, my name was called, and they wanted me to come to the office.

As I opened the office door, I could see our principal, Mrs.M. She said that because I put my heart into the writing test that I would be named principal for the day and that I would get to make one rule. I said my rule would be for kids to do what ever they wanted. She said all right and announced the new principal and the new rule. Kids were chanting my name!!! Sweet!!!

Out of the blue, teachers started attacking me with complaints. They told me kids weren’t listening to them. I told them to chill and cool off. I told them to let my peers have their fun. The educators said they were leaving.

I carelessly replied, “I do not care,” and put my feet on my powerful desk.

WOW, teachers are chatterboxes!

As I maneuvered around the school, I could see that kids were having a blast! But, I have to admit, some kids were going nuts. Suddenly, Pre-Kiers were pushing a chair that had their teacher duck taped to it with an apple tied to her mouth. This could not be good! Boy, do I wish Mrs. M would be here to fix this.

Right before my eyes was our school’s real leader, Mrs. M. Man, was it a relief to see her here. When she saw the kids, she ran to her office and said over the intercom for every single body to pack up, go home, and calm down. She also compared the students to wild chimps.

Finally, Mrs.M. sent the last kids home, and I apologized for the trouble I had caused.

I softly whispered,” Sorry for the messing every thing up.”

She said it was no problem, and thanked me for watching the school for
her. I left after that with a monstrous headache.

You know, being leader of the school is awesome, but at the same time, hard. Even though it gets boring, I’d rather be listening to my teacher teach a math lesson. Without a doubt!
