The faculty, staff, students, and parents at Randolph Elementary School have been excited to celebrate Mrs. Crowder’s first Principal Appreciation Week this week!

Some of the second grade classes created a banner showing their appreciation of Mrs. Crowder.

Other second grade classes wrote letters and made miniature versions of our great leader.

Kindergarten and first grade classes presented Mrs. Crowder with a basket of her favorite goodies and sang “Happy Principal’s Week” to her.

The second graders also sang “Ode to Mrs. Crowder,” sung to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle.”

Mrs. Crowder, we hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your special week!  Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to the students at RES!
