Principal for a day

Hampton Bays Elementary School students recently had the exciting opportunity to step into leadership as “principals for a day,” a special reward for being top fundraisers in the PTA Fun Run.

The student principals embraced their duties with enthusiasm, delivering morning announcements, greeting families at arrival and assisting with safety protocols. In Brittany Morlock and Alexandra Hunter’s kindergarten classroom, “principals” Harper and Ryder handed out kindness tickets and established three schoolwide rules — one of which was a spontaneous 10-second dance break whenever Harper declared “banana!” Ryder kept spirits high by awarding the class an extra 10 minutes of recess.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of these students and the broader school community, over $18,000 was raised to support school initiatives through the fun run.
