Thursday May 1 was National School Principal Day. East Midvale students, teachers and staff took the opportunity to appreciate Principal Nelson in a big way! Cheers of “Mr. Nelson, Mr. Nelson” could be heard during lunch. Small voices whispering “thank you” and “you are the best Principal” were also heard.
At the end of the day, all 550 preschool through 5th grade students formed a tunnel of appreciation that Mr. Nelson walked through. Students made signs and shook poms poms, cheered and chanted. Mr. Nelson later dubbed the walk the “Gratitude Gauntlet”.
