🌟 Principal Spotlight as we continue celebrating National Principal Month! 🌟

We all know Mrs. Ariail loves Springdale Elementary, but here are a few fun facts you might not know about our favorite leader:

📚 Favorite Children's Book: Amelia Bedelia Books

☕ Go-To Morning Fuel: I'd love a Mocha Frap but most mornings it's just cereal!

🐬 Favorite Springdale Memory: Oh, that’s a hard one because I have so many! Some of my favorites include welcoming chickens to Springdale as the start of our AgVenture, all the Boosterthon fun with students, and the exciting incentives and challenges we’ve celebrated along the way for testing and reaching goals. I love any opportunity to stand alongside the amazing people who make great things happen at Springdale. Most of all, I love being part of a staff that goes above and beyond for our students every single day. Being able to proudly tell people where I work is something I’ll always treasure! 💙🐬

🎨 Favorite School Subject as a Kid: Math 😊and Recess

❤️ Thank you, Mrs. Ariail, for bringing your heart, dedication, and school spirit to Springdale every single day!
