Snow – seen “through my eyes as a first year principal at Marquette”

Andrea Kreft:

welcome you to see through my eyes as a first year principal at Marquette Elementary.
Right now I see snow: a record amount of snow!
It covers our staff’s cars in the parking lot, our playground and our students. It is the time of year when the shine on the floors turns to a dull, salty dust and a scattering of wet boots lay “close to” lockers in the halls. No wonder the Lost and Found bin overflows so quickly.
We’ve rounded the corner into the second semester and I’ve learned a lot about snow and how our attention clings to what the weather brings. It begins with a continuing debate in determining where snow boots and pants need to be worn on the playground.
With every new layer of snow, I am thankful for the staff that fashion the blaze orange vests and assist in addressing these questions to keep our students safe and as dry as possible outside.
