Her book “Meet the Principal: My Journey Beyond the Curriculum,” started out as a response to her grandkids question “What DOES a Principal Do All Day?” It quickly developed into a book of stories about the intriguing challenges a school leader faces and the many relationships a principal forms with students, staff and parents on the way to achieving a winning team and student success.
Principals, teachers and parents would enjoy and relate to the variety of stories included about what goes on inside the walls of a school.
