This Week At LSS - June 3
Hi LSS
Today I would like to talk about Ms. Harrison. Ms. Harrison has been vice principal at LSS for nearly four years. But she is off on a new adventure – LIS Principal. I am excited but also sad to see her go. Ms. Harrison came to LSS with a deep understanding of education for she taught in the classroom for nearly 20 years before becoming an administrator. As a VP she connected with students and found ways to support them. She has done a wonderful job of not just caring for students and families but for staff as well. One of her gifts was her ability to bring people together like in Graduation especially during COVID times. The school will miss her skills and her fun ways. Go be the best principal you can be Ms. Harrison and remember to Try your best, Get better each day and Do the right thing.
Stephen Epp, present vice principal of NDSS, will be taking her place and he is much cooler than I am so LSS will still be awesome.
