Last month, Kindergarten student, Daniel Ferris, won a raffle to be "Principal of the Day" and shadow me for the school day. Daniel is writing this guest blog post below and has drawn a picture of "His Office".

I was very excited to be Principal of the Day at Lincoln School. My mom helped me pick out my clothes so I would look like Mr. Conway who wears a tie every day. When I arrived in the office, both of my parents were taking pictures of me.
I started the morning by making a special announcement over the loud speaker. We then visited
all the classrooms, including my own Kindergarten room, Mrs. Joslin's class. All the kids were excited to see me and called me Mr. Ferris. We went to all the classroom delivering the Science Fair Certificates of Achievement and ribbons for all the students who participated in the Science Fair last night. That was a lot of work because there were almost 150 students who had projects.
I even got to visit my older sister's 3rd grade class and I gave her a Behavior Report for making me play Just Dance 4 on the Wii. She was a little embarrassed but we were all just having fun. She's actually a really good big sister.
I got to order out for lunch with the office staff and I got Chicken Parmigiana, one of my favorites. While waiting for lunch I got to speak with Ms. Santosuosso who is now the Principal of Winthrop Elementary but was a 2nd grade teacher at Lincoln. Ms. Santosuosso told me that she likes being a principal and meeting all the different people she works with, teachers, students and parents. But she does miss being at Lincoln. She was my sister's 2nd Grade teacher.
The rest of the day was pretty busy, checking on the cafe, outside at recess and even reading to the students in Mrs. Ingall's 3rd Grade class. I liked my day so much, I wish I was principal for the rest of the year. But if that doesn't work out, I'll enjoy going back to Mrs. Joslin's room. When I grow up I want to be a Hockey Player or a Tree Service Worker, like my dad. It was a fun day.
