Principals Month: You Know You’re a School Leader When…

November 2, 2026

Thank you for celebrating National Principals Month with us in October! We wrapped up our weekly prompts with one last question for school leaders. See below for the winning responses to Week 4, who will all receive a gift card from us:

Week 4 winners: You know you’re a school leader when…

“…your day takes you from cheering on Coyote Cubs and celebrating apple adventures to watching football players welcome our littlest learners—and your heart is full before the first bell even rings! ❤️🩶” Jenny Walters LaFrenier, Principal, Kittitas Elementary, Kittitas SD

“…the various stakeholders you serve feel comfortable giving feedback and expressing their needs on a regular basis.” Nicholas Anderson, Principal, Sunnyside Elementary, Marysville SD

“…you check the phase of the moon to try to explain the day you are having.” Sonia Cole, Principal, Sehome High, Bellingham PS

“Your diet consists of 70% cold coffee, 20% leftover pizza from a district office meeting, and 10% staff lounge donut crumbs you scavenged at 5:35 p.m.” Paul Chartrand, Principal, Wiley Elementary, Richland SD

    Congrats to our Week 4 winners! Thanks again to everyone who participated and helped make this year’s National Principals Month so special.
