My principal is retiring in June, and the staff and PTA would like to put together something memorable and a bit unique as a gift for her.
My school is K-2, and someone had an idea to do a 'Kids Say the Funniest Things' type video.
We are going to interview 5 or so children from each class, and ask questions like ' What does the principal do?', 'What is your favorite thing about Mrs. G.?'. We'll then choose the best responses and have it professionally edited.
What do you think?? Do any of you creative geniuses (and you know who you are!! I need you!!) have anything to add?? Or have a new idea entirely??

THANX!

Jenn .... Here's an addition to your great idea ... our principal retired last year & one of our classes did the

The Visa 'Priceless' commercial ... the bulk of the 'commercial' was about school supplies & the tag line was .. having Mr.G for a principal ... Priceless.

It might be a cute idea to add to your video idea .... which I LOVE! It'll be great.

Definitely a great idea!!!

When our principal retired 2 years ago, each class on each grade level either sang a song or recited a poem at an assembly. It was extremely touching. I have no idea if they video taped it, but that would have been great if they did!! Are you going to do an assembly where classes perform something too? Because that is an alternative way to get all 600 students involved, in addition to the video. Such a great idea though!!!
