Head of the Lower School for a Day

Today I have a special person taking over my blog for me. Ms. Palmby won the chance to be Head of the Lower School for the day. Here is her blog:

I had so much fun being principal for a day and I liked seeing my friends. I was very nervous but it was so much fun. I had lunch with the teachers in the teachers lounge. We went to the Upper School and saw the bell and went on the roof. I gave out extra recesses for everyone it was so fun for everyone. I could just give them to some grades but I didn’t want to be mean so I gave them to every grade. We went to chapel and told Chaplin Matt that he did a great job. I read to the Kindergarteners Dr. Seuss, “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.” I had so much fun but being a principal is hard work!

A Real Author Visits

On May 15th Author/Illustrator Ben Mann came to give a presentation about what it takes to be an author. He is a very well known Allied Arts Teaching Artist and is one of Bellingham’s favorite local artists, but word is just starting to spread that he has expanded his colorful repertoire by adding Author to his resume.


He presented to Kindergarten- 2nd grade at 10 a.m. and 3rd and 4th Grade at 10:30 a.m. The students loved the chance to hear Ben read his story of the fox who encounters a whole host of new friends as he goes on an adventure, which proved to be a rhyming romp through unlikely friendships. Getting to see a real author and learn about the writing process is a real treat for our budding authors!
