National Principal Appreciation Month

By Matt LaCasse

Cody Elementary San Antonio

We're all about celebrating things here at Inter-State Studio. In fact, our San Antonio office even made these cool canvas prints for their schools that had been with them for more than 10 years just a few weeks ago. This picture is with some staff members at Cody Elementary. We love being able to do something nice for our schools! 

October is National Principal Appreciation Month, so we couldn't let the opportunity pass us by to say thank you to all the principals we see throughout the school year. However, especially during this busy time of year for them (and for us!), life can become a series of checklists, meetings, and making sure everything is ready for the next day. Both jobs are lots of fun, there's no question...but sometimes the job overtakes the fun. 

So, our gift to all our principal friends is to take a moment to laugh with Gerry Brooks with this video he recorded for Principal Appreciation Month. If you're a teacher, a parent, or just someone who sympathizes with what principals are going through this time of year (or really during any time of the school year), we think you'll enjoy this.

If you see us sporting some new sunglasses when we walk into school, don't worry. We're just trying to stay focused on the task at hand. Do you have ideas for what kind of gifts you could give your principal for National Principal Appreciation Month?
