Recognize Your Principal
Write to Your Principal
Write poems, letters or notes of appreciation and leave them on the desk of your principal.
Prepare Souvenirs and Specialty Items
Print your principal’s name on coffee mugs, t-shirts, schoolbags etc. to advertise the efforts of your Principal.
Make Notes
Have your students write notes like “Well Done!” “Thank You” and “You’re Appreciated” and put them on the desk of your principal before he/she arrives at work.
Decorations
Decorate the office and hallways of the school showing your appreciation for your principal.
Teachers can have their students send their principal thank you notes via email during computer class.
A Day to Reflect
Principals have little time for themselves while dealing with the immediate and urgent details of their job. Give them a day to unplug, get away from the building, and take time to recharge and reflect on how they can be better leaders.
Be creative and have fun!
